The aim of the work was to describe the first catch of Scophthalmus maeoticus (Pallas, 1814) in the Don River estuary (47°3′57′′N, 39°12′39′′E) and to analyze it in the context of salinity increasing in the Sea of Azov. The study was carried out using two turbot specimens caught on July 16, 2016, and on September 1, 2016, by a net with a mesh 55 mm. Assessment of the chalinic conditions of the Sea of Azov was carried out through annual monitoring at 3 hydrometeorological stations in Don River delta and in the eastern part of the Taganrog Bay. The article presents main meristic and plastic features of the turbots studied in comparison with published data. The dynamics of the salinity in the Sea of Azov and in the Taganrog Bay is analyzed. Find of the turbot in the estuary of the Don River is an evidence of ichthyocene transformation in response to salinity increasing (up to 12.5 ‰ in the Sea of Azov and up to 6 ‰ in the Taganrog Bay). The first catch of the turbot corresponds with trend of increasing of marine and brackish-water species share and with a decrease in the number of native semi-anadromous fish species.

Alien polychaetes belonging to the genus Marenzelleria were recorded from the mouth of the Don River and Taganrog Bay in the Sea of Azov in February–March 2014. Morphological characteristics varied greatly and matched those of two species: M. neglecta and M. arctia. Some individuals did not match the descriptions of both species. A genetic study using different sequences (primarily COI, but also 16S, 28S, cytb and nuclear histone 3a) showed that only M. neglecta was present despite some morphological mismatches. A morphological description of the species according to the new data is presented, together with a revised table of variability of the key numeric characters. Since 2014, Marenzelleria has spread swiftly and become dominant in a considerable part of the Taganrog Bay, making up to 91% of the total abundance/biomass (6800 ind. m−2 and 31.2 g m−2, respectively). Monodominant sites were also present. Its occurrence is 100% in recent surveys. Such a sharp increase seems to be due to a lack of detritophages in the bay; this is supported by the fact that M. neglecta has not formed its specific assemblage. The community structure, if M. neglecta is excluded, is equal to that before the invasion. In the Sea of Azov itself, M. neglecta is not as abundant, but occurs up to the Strait of Kertch and at some sites in the Black Sea. Its spread further into the Black Sea seems possible, as well as into the Caspian Sea via the Volga-Don Canal.

Biological State

The materials for 2003-2018 on the biological state of sazan of the eastern part of the Taganrog Bay and the Don River delta were summarized. It has been shown that the catches of sazan in the study area consisted of more than half of the fish of younger age groups, the length of which was less than the commercial measure. The ratio of linear and weight growth of sazan is shifting towards a decrease in the mass of one-dimensional specimen, which is indirect evidence of the deterioration of the natural living conditions of semi-migratory fish. In 2019, the carp parasite fauna was represented by 7 species related to monogenes - 2 species, cestodes - 3 species, nematodes - 1 species, crustaceans - 1. The state of the sazan population needs further research.

Taganrog Bay

The distribution and behavior of certain of trace elements in sea water is greatly affected by both physical, chemical and hydrometeorological conditions that are showed in the scientific works of prof. Yu.A. Fedorov with coauthors (1999-2015). Due to the shallow waters last factor is one of the dominant, during the different wind situation changes significantly the dynamics of water masses and interaction in the system “water – suspended matter – bottom sediments”.Therefore, the study of the behavior of the total iron in the water of the sea at different wind situation is relevant. The content of dissolved iron forms migration in The Sea of Azov water (open area) varies from 0.017 to 0.21 mg /dm3 (mean 0.053 mg /dm3) and in Taganrog Bay from 0.035 to 0.58 mg /dm3 (mean 0.11 mg /dm3) and it is not depending on weather conditions.The reduction in the overall iron concentration in the direction of the Taganrog Bay → The Sea of Azov (open area) is observed on average more than twice. The dissolved iron content exceeding TLV levels and their frequency of occurrence in the estuary, respectively, were higher compared with The Sea of Azov (open area).There is an increase in the overall iron concentration in the water of the Azov Sea on average 1.5 times during the storm conditions, due to the destruction of the structure of the upper layer and resuspension of bottom sediments, intensifying the transition of iron compounds in the solution.

Bottom sediments formed in the water bodies under the technogenic impact are important environmental factors affecting water quality and hydrobiota. Usually they consist of natural and technogenic material and differ from natural formations by their morphology, chemical and lithological composition, physicochemical and biochemical properties. In the present paper we use the term “sediment layer of anthropogenic impact” to define the sediment layer containing technogenic material and/or chemical pollutants. The determination of its location in the sediment cores, its thickness and accumulation chronology is an important scientific problem. In the paper the results of layer by layer study of Cs-137, Am-241, Pb-210 specific activities as well as concentrations of petroleum components, lead and mercury in 48 sediment cores of the Sea of Azov and the Don River are examined. The sediment core layers are dated by radiological methods. In all the sediment cores the peak of Cs-137 specific activity related to the Chernobyl accident was detected. In the Sea of Azov, this peak is located in the upper sediment layer up to 10 cm thick, however, in the delta and in the near-delta part of the Don River, where the sedimentation rates are more important, it is found at 20 to 40 cm depth. Also in certain sediment cores the second peak of Cs-137 related to the global nuclear fallout of the 1960s was found. The most of petroleum components, lead and mercury quantities are concentrated in the upper sediment layer formed in the last 50 to 70 years, i.e. in the period of the most important anthropogenic pressure. So, this complex approach based on the data on the vertical distribution of technogenic radionuclides and common pollutants in the sediment cores made it possible to identify and delineate the sediment layer of high anthropogenic impact as well as to assess the duration of this impact.

The work presents the results of a study of phytoplankton in Taganrog Bay of the Sea of Azov and the downstream reaches of the Don River (January, April – November 2017). During the study was identified the modern taxonomic composition (210 species of eukaryotic algae and cyanobacteria). Ecological and geographical analysis was showed the stability of the general structure of the plankton algoflora of the studied area compared with previous years of the study (1980s to early 2000s). The work also presents a characteristic of the seasonal dynamics of taxonomic, size structures, and coenotic composition of phytoplankton. During the study was noted the temporary and qualitative changes in composition of phytoplankton, which are indicate a high level of organic matter in the studied reservoirs and an increase in the heterotrophic component in the functioning of the Lower Don ecosystem. It was found that in the studied water bodies the important factor in the formation of composition and the structure of phytoplankton is salinity.
