The offshore zone of the western coast of the Caspian Sea is one of the most highly productive. Of the 63 species of fish that live in the Caspian Sea, 34 species are found on the Krainovsky coast, 42 % of which are carp. The most numerous is the roach Rutilus rutilus caspicus (Jakowlev, 1870), which makes up 50–86 % of the number of semi-passerine and river fish. The article presents the results of studies of the peculiarities of the biology of the roach Rutilus rutilus caspicus of the Krainovsky coast of the Caspian Sea. The roach is noted in the catches constantly. Her age in the networks ranges from 2 to 10 years. The share of 3-5-year-olds accounts for 81 %. Females in catches make up 66 %, males - 34 %. The parameters of the Bertalanfi equation are characterized by the following values: L =38.8 cm, K = 0.12, t° = -2.67. The fecundity of the roach on average is 30.2 thousand eggs and tends to increase with increasing length and weight of the fish. As the roach grows, the composition of its food changes significantly. The maximum fed roach length from 10 to 20 cm.

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).

Genetic analysis using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of cytochrome b in mtDNA was made to clarify genetic variations among two Iranian Rutilus rutilus caspicus populations of commercial importance from the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. Polymorphism was detected using six restriction enzymes and a total of six composite haplotypes were identified. Four haplotypes were rare occurring only once in two regions (west and east of the southern Caspian Sea). Nucleotide and haplotype diversities were higher in the south-west region of the Caspian Sea (π=3.43%, h=23.3).The nucleotide divergence between the two populations was low (0.064%). The test for heterogeneity of composite haplotype frequencies gave no significant outcome for all samples (χ2=0.137, P≤0.05). The results indicate that significant attention should be paid to the genetic characterization of R. rutilus caspicus populations for conservation of their genetic pools and aquaculture policies at the coastlines of the Caspian Sea.

Gobustan is a rich archaeological area where people lived at different period, thousands of rock paintings, dozens of sites, settlements, tombs and other monuments of different historical periods have preserved. Ovchular shelter takes a special place among these caves, which is date back to the Stone and Bronze ages, approximately before VI-IV Millenniums B.C. according to some archeologists. Hence, the question of study of rock images of this complex with using geological and archaeological data for reconstruction the archaeological landscape of upper terrace of Boyukdash Mountain is extremely important challenge.  The archaeologists Dj. Russtamov and F. Muradova started first field works in the Ovchular cave. On the walls of the cave displayed hunting scenes, battle, ritual dances. Discovered archaeological artefacts and images by archaeologists show that habitat indications of human in the cave presumably date back to the period of domestication of animals. During field works for night photography in 2004 here were discovered new petroglyphs – 2 figures of ibexes. A special interest represent dotted recesses engraved under one figure of animal.  No doubt that this cave used for specific rituals and magic procedures. Archaeologists date back this shelter by the period of transition from the Mesolithic to Neolithic. Discovered fragments of vessel from mixed coarse clay let researchers suppose about settling of this cave in the Bronze Age also. As a result of geological research in the western coast of the Caspian Sea, it was also possible to determine the transgression which observed 6 thousand years ago, and the beginning of  regression which observed 4 thousand years ago ,so the retreat of the sea. Thus, while the lower terraces of  Boyukdash mountain  were periodically washed by the historical Caspian Sea and  could not reach to the upper terraces, in particular, to the Ovchular site.

SummaryThe northern section of the Caspian Sea is an important fishery for Kazakhstan. In the present study, a total of 606 individuals of 13 fish species were collected. For each of Abramis brama, Alosa saposchnikowii, Atherina boyeri caspia, Carassius auratus, Clupeonella cultriventris, Cyprinus carpio, Liza aurata, Leuciscus aspius, Rutilus rutilus caspius, Sander lucioperca, Sander marinus, and Sander volgensis 50 individuals were examined whilst 6 individuals of Siluris glanis were examined. The nematode parasite Anisakis schupakovi was found in all fish species except Liza aurata, Carassius aurata, Cyprinus carpio and Rutilus rutilus at intensities ranging from 1 to 1197 parasites per infected fish. Trematodes of family Diplostomidae were also isolated from all fish except Alosa saposhnikowii, Clupeonella cultriventris and Sander marinus at intensities ranging from 1 to 242 parasites per infected fish. Other parasites found included the nematodes Porrocaecum reticulatum, Contracecum sp, Camallanus sp and Eustrongylus excisus; the cestodes Neogryporhynchus cheilancristrotus, Bothriocephalus opsariichthydis; the monogenean parasites Mazocraes alosa, Ancyrocephalus paradocus, Gyrodactylus spp, Ligophorus vanbenedenii and Dactylogyrus spp; and the crustacean parasites Ergasilus sp. and Synergasilus sp. In addition one unidentified species of nematode and a bivalve of the genus Unio was recovered from Rutilus rutilus caspius. There was no association between Fulton’s condition index and intensity of parasite infection.

The work presents microstructural analysis of the oocytes of the common carp and the caspian roach that are on the stages of the protoplasmic and trophoplasmic (large) growth of the germ cells. Seasonal changes of quantitative and qualitative transformations of structural components of oocytes are also given. It is shown that from the early spring to the late autumn in the ovaries of the caspian roach and the common carp found are the oocytes of different generations, which are both at the generative and vegetative stages of growth of germ cells and along with this can occur, with varying intensity, resorption of whole oocytes and their individual structures. It has been established that spawning is common in the common carp, generative and regenerative processes occur simultaneously, while in the wobble spawning is simultaneous, the generative processes begin only after the regeneration of the sexual gland.
