A change in growth rate of the halibut from the Portlock-Albatross grounds has occurred since the early 1930's. It is possible to measure this change in growth by studying the otoliths of fish taken by the commercial fishery in subsequent years. The calculation of body lengths from otolith measurements has provided a technique of reconstructing the growth patterns of each year-class. This method has been tested using the otoliths of recovered tagged halibut. The percentage deviations from average body length at each age demonstrate an increase in average length with time over the period 1920–1956. This increase is not exhibited among young fish of ages 1 through 4; it starts approximately with age 5 and continues throughout the older ages, where it is pronounced.

Within Peter the Great Bay, common icefish Salangichthys microdon forms commercially valuable aggregations in two areas of the Amur Bay and in one area of the Ussuri Bay. It spawns in the internal estuaries of the rivers entered to the bays and in the external estuarine zones in the tops of the bays, mostly on small pebble grounds from late April to late May and feeds in the bays waters. Data on its size and weight composition were obtained in 2017–2018 both from the Amur Bay (for spawning period) and from the Ussuri Bay (for feeding period). During the spawning (on May 6 and May 18), the body length was 59–90 mm, on average 74.9 mm, and the weight was about 750 mg; sex ratio males : females was 1.0 : 0.8. During the feeding, the average body length was 66.8 mm.

Second-generation females of a cyst-forming nematode, Heterodera trifolii Goffart, 1932, from a mixed population of this species and the sugar-beet nematode, H. schachtii Schmidt, 1871, produced small, normal, giant, and abnormal second-stage larvae. The giant larvae averaged 670 μ in length, while the small larvae had an average body length of 404 μ. Abnormalities in the larvae occurred mostly in the tail development. It is suggested that the sperm of H. schachtii may have affected the normal chromosome complement of the H. trifolii oöcytes during oögenesis and was thereby responsible for the production of the different types of larvae recorded.

Blackbuck is the existing members of genus Antilope which is most elegant and graceful among all Antelopes of Asia with distinct sexual dimorphism. Blackbuck show endemism in Pakistan, Nepal and India occupying mainly the semi-arid grassland areas. The name of species attributes towards the dark brownish to blackish coat color of male species. While female and the young ones are tawny or yellow. Chin undersides of legs and chest are white in both male and female individuals. Males have whorled horns with 79cm length with absence in females. The average body length of this animal is 100-150cm with the tail length of 10-17cm. The average body weight for male is 20-57kg and for female 19-33kg. Thin grassy forests, open and semi-desert areas are good habitat for it. Being diurnal and herbivorous, it acts as both grazers and browsers. It is the fastest animal with an average speed of 80km/h. It remains reproductively functional whole year. Reproductive disorders including dystocia and different infectious diseases due to ectoparasites, endoparasites, bacteria and viruses affect these species. Habitat loss, stress, illegal killing and genetic troubles cause the species to be ‘Extinct in the Wildlife’ in Pakistan so conservation strategies are underway for species protection. It is indispensable for zoologists and conservational biologists to observe the species for its conservation and confronting threats. Review article highlighted necessary information about species, which will clear the way for further research on species.

Introduction. An investigation aimed at studying the modern specific features of the physical development of children of school age of Yekaterinburg city was performed. Material and Methods. Somatic (body length, body weight, chest circumference) and physiometric (vital lung capacity, hand strength) physical development indices of 1378 school students of the city of Yekaterinburg aged from 8 to 16 years were surveyed and studied using the anthropomorphic measurement method (cross-sectional studies). The obtained results were compared with the equivalent physical development results collected from the children within the period between 1894 and 2000, as well as physical development data of school students residing in the large cities of the Russian Federation; Student’s t-test, regression analysis were used. Results. A decline in somatometric indices of the physical development (body length, weight, chest circumference) in all age and gender groups of school students was noted within the period between 1894 and 2017, but the decreased average values of the physiometric parameters, i.e. vital lung capacity, hand strength, were noted from 1985. The average body length and average body weight of school students of the city of Yekaterinburg are not significantly different or higher as compared to the peers residing in the large cities of the Russian Federation. In contrast to the regional physical development standards (as of 2000), each third school student has high or higher than average physical development indices: body length by 26.4%, body weight - 36%, chest circumference - 29.8%; a high incidence of low physiometric parameters was noted: low and lower than average indices of the vital lung capacity are characteristic to 35.1% of school students, hand strength - to 20.4% (right) and 22.9% (left) school students. Conclusion. The obtained results are indicative of the epoch-making changes in the physical development of children of the school age, as well as of certain regional distinguishing features, which may be associated with changes in the social and economic, environmental situation, and life style peculiarities of the modern school students.
