Larvae of Aedes argenteus reared in fresh water are killed by 1.1 per cent. NaCl or by "sea water"1 isotonic with 1.3-1.4 per cent. NaCl. Newly hatched larvae are killed by 1.1 per cent. NaCl or "sea water" equivalent to 1.3 per cent. NaCl. By gradually increasing the concentration, larvae can be made resistant to 1.1 per cent. NaCl and to "sea water" equivalent to 1.75 percent. NaCl (50 per cent. sea water). The nature of the physiological adaptation in these larvae has been studied and the following conclusions reached: 1. The elastic strands in the cells of the gills become exaggerated, and these cells resist swelling in hypertonic salt solutions. 2. There are changes in the epithelium of the mid-gut so that: (a) the cells are no longer caused to swell up and become detached from the basement membrane; and (b) the mid-gut and caeca can absorb the salt fluid and so avoid the excessive distension which occurs in unadapted larvae. 3. It is possible that the Malpighian tubes excrete a more concentrated urine and that the reabsorptive activity of the rectum is increased. The mosquito larva appears to be homoiosmotic in both fresh water and in hypertonic salt water.

Oscular tubes rapidly collapse and disperse in isotonic potassium nitrate solution, the cells dissociating and rounding off, and the mesogloea softening and swelling. Reasons are given for regarding the action as a direct one on the mesogloea and intercellular ‘cement’. Transference of the collapsing tubes to sea-water, or isotonic calcium chloride, results in an immediate stiffening of the mesogloea, and the swollen cells form characteristic processes which are best seen after the cells have been in the nitrate solution for an optimum period depending on the temperature. They are not formed after treatment with M/100 potassium cyanide. The action of other isotonic salt solutions is briefly described. When a comparison is made of the times taken for the tubes to become plastic, the ions respectively used fall into three series which are the same as those found in regard to the dispersiveness of certain hydrophilic organic colloids. The experiments provide evidence that the mesogloea is secreted by the choanocytes or by the amoebocytes close beneath them, and that the secretion stiffens into a firmer gel as it passes into the spicule zone. The degree of firmness also varies apparently according to the health of the tube. The action of distilled water and acidified sea-water are described. After the spicules have dissolved the tube still retains its shape and much of its support can thus derive from the mesogloea. The relative functions of the mesogloea and the spicules are briefly discussed.

The aim of the research is to develop new efficient method of fish cultivation in a medium with totally controlled conditions. The main task is the morpho-physiological and piscicultural-biological analysis effects of farming fish- breeders and juvenils in salt solutions of different concentrations. Laboratory and industrial fish contents tests for sea water and salt solutions medium of different salinity have been implemented on the most valuable fish species: russian and stellate sturgeon, rainbow trout, bullhead and roach.The results were evaluated by piscicultural-biological and physiological indicators: content state of hemoglobin, total protein, serum osmolarity, abdominal fluid and urine. Cytomorphometrical analysis of the hypothalamic-hypophysial neurosecreto-ry system (HHNS) status was performed by light and electron microscopy. The enhance effects of fish survival, breeders reproductive quality, youngs growth rates were first established for medi-um with "critical" salinity 4-8‰ For breed-ers originally it was shown the possibility to change sea water on the table salt solution of the same concentration. With such a low concentration of salt a new biostimulating effect of this artificial medium on the fish body was installed, due to the absence of its well-known toxicity. The highest degree of survival and delayed sex maturation of roach and stellate sturgeon were specifically in-stalled for the same concentration of indus-trial salt solutions. The best physiological body state was also shown in this solution (5‰) by physiological and biochemical analysis, regarding minimal losses in hemo-globin and serum protein. Histophysiological analysis of the sevruga HHNS state showed the smallest degree of activity in this solu-tion to the end of the experience, proportion-ate to the severity of stress. Such moderately active HHNS in solution of salt 5‰ clearly indicates the status of the eustress and high HHNS activity for control groups indicates the typical status of the stress. By electron microscopy study HHNS state sevruga and sturgeon in hypertonic salt solutions of dif-ferent concentrations it was shown, that at 17 and 22‰ they were under stress and at 32‰ represented irreversible disstress. All 3 in-stalled stress status depends on the intensity and duration of exposure. Their effects are alternative and therefore are managed, trans-forming from bio-stimulation in reversable stress and, after reaching the limits of physi-ological species cause toxic effect and then a state of disstress and death. The possibility of changing the sea water to industrial salt solution 5-7‰, allowed to develop "A meth-od to reserve fish breeders", which ,however, can not be applied for the young fish breed-ing. So the next stage in the development of this method was to test it already on juvenile and young fish, in order to determine its effective cultivation in this artificial biostim-ulating medium. The results of the search experience on trout fingerlings showed the increased survival and growth in salt solu-tions, especially in 12‰ as compared to con-trol. The first experimental verification of this method on the clarias bullhead finger-lings in the recycling aquacultural system (RAS) showed the largest growth rates in 5‰ salt solution, and its total survival in all variants. Received data and analysis of biostimu-lated effects impact on the body's critical salinity gives the opportunity to develop a fundamentally new way of cultivation of valuable fish species in an artificial biostim-ulated habitat. This technique can allow to manage breeding - obtaining offspring and the cultivation of young fish. It is aimed at improving the efficiency of breeding fish in aquaculture due to the availability of the application for any type of fish farms with the effects of increasing survival rate and young growth rate. It is expected that the change of the sea water with the cheap solu-tion of table salt can be widely practiced at fish plants in various fields and at all stages of fish biotechnology works, especially RAS.

This review summarizes the need for future spatiotemporal comparisons of microplastic abundance across marine environment, through standardized methods for microplastic sampling and analysis in sea water, beach and seabed sediment and marine organism. Pretreatment of the sample prior to the elimination of organic matter should be done using appropriate reagents was also described. Extraction of microplastics from environmental matrices is based on the different density of targeted microplastics with saturated salt solutions (NaCl, NaI, CaCl2, ZnCl2 and lithium metatungstate). Quantification can be achieved by microscopic techniques (binocular, stereomicroscope, fluorescence microscope and scanning electron microscope) and discussion on identification methods including FTIR, Pyr-GC/MS and Raman spectroscopy will be provided. This review also endorses the importance of further study regarding the fate and impact of microplastics on marine biota and human health, especially when we acknowledge that co-pollution may occur during the transport on microplastic in marine environment.
