Yesso scallop Mizuhopecten yessoensis is the main object of aquaculture in Primorye with annual yield measured in hundreds ton. However, further development of its farming could be restricted by lack of the spat. Availability of the spat imported from China using for the scallop cultivation at the coast of Primorye is explored. The spat from Chinese hatchery located in Shandong province was supplied for one aquaculture company in Primorye in the volume of 660 . 106 ind. in 2018 and settled to hanging collectors (1000 ind. per bag), then to cages in the marine farm located north-eastward from the Moryak-Rybolov Bay. Survival and growth rate of the scallop juveniles were examined in early November 2018, when the water temperature was from 10.3–10.4 оС at the sea surface to 9.7–9.9 оС at the bottom, salinity was about 33.60 psu in the whole water column, chlorophyll a concentration varied in the range 0.4–0.8 mg/L with the maximum in the layer 8–24 m. The spat mortality during transportation was estimated as 15 %, but it increased to 56–90 % during its growing up in cages. This level of mortality is much higher than mortality of the spat collected from the coastal waters at southern Primorye. The highest mortality of artificial spat was observed for large-sized mollusks, whereas it was satisfactory for the small-sized ones. Possible reason of high mortality is too high density of juveniles and damaging of their soft tissues by other shells. The spat shells height did not exceed 5–10 mm in the collectors but increased during their growing in cages to 20–25 mm. This size is similar to the size of scallop growing from natural spat in southern Primorye. However, growth rate of the scallop growing at the Moryak-Rybolov Bay (2.0–2.7 mm/month) is lower than in Peter the Great Bay (3.0–3.5 mm/month) though higher than in the Vladimir Bay and Aniva Bay. Mean body weight of the cultivated scallop in November was 1.5 ± 0.1 g.

The methodological approach and methodical problems of evaluation and mapping of biodiversity of mountain forest territory in Primorsky Krai (south of the Russian Far East) are considered. The complex evaluation of biodiversity is presented according to the scheme: (ecotopical environments → vegetation → animal population) ← fire-danger. It is proposed to compile the maps of ecotopical diversity on a basis of diversity index and contrast of relief characteristics, and the maps of geobotanical and zoological diversity — on a basis of spatial extrapolation of indexes relating biota to environmental conditions. The examples of construction of appropriate maps are given for Primorye Region.

The article specifies the type locality of the Steppe Ribbon Racer. The holotype Coluber (Taphrometopon) lineolatus Brandt, 1838 is stored in the reptile collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ZISP No 2042). Literature sources provide different information about the type locality. A mistake has been made in the title of the work with the original species description: the western coast of the sea was indicated instead of the eastern one. The place of capture was indicated as “M. Caspium” (Caspian Sea) on the label and in the reptile inventory book of the Zoological Museum of the Academy of Sciences. The specimen was sent to the museum by G.S. Karelin. The “1842” indicated on the labels and in the inventory book cannot be the year of capture of the type specimen, just as the “1837” indicated by A.M. Nikolsky. In 1837, Karelin was in Saint Petersburg and in 1842 in Siberia. Most likely, 1837 is the year when the collection arrived at the Museum, and 1842 is the year when the information about the specimen was recorded in the inventory book (catalog) of the Zoological Museum of the Academy of Sciences. In our opinion, the holotype was caught in 1932. From Karelin’s travel notes of the expedition to the Caspian Sea in 1832, follows that the snake was recorded in two regions adjacent to the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea – Ungoza Mountain (“Mangyshlak Mountains”) and site of the Western Chink of Ustyurt between Zhamanairakty and Kyzyltas Mountains (inclusive) on the northeast coast of Kaydak Sor (“Misty Mountains”). In our article, Karelin’s route to the northeastern coast of the Caspian Sea in 1832 and photographs of these localities are given. The type locality of Psammophis lineolatus (Brandt, 1838) should be restricted to the Mangystau Region of the Kazakhstan: Ungoza Mountain south of Sarytash Gulf, Mangystau (Mangyshlak) Penninsula (44°26´ N, 51°12´ E).
