<em>Abstract</em>.—Giant grenadier <em>Albatrossia pectoralis</em>, popeye grenadier <em>Coryphaenoides cinereus </em>and Pacific grenadier <em>C. acrolepis </em>are commercially important in the Russian Far East and dominate on continental slopes at depths above 400–600 m. Giant grenadier have become the target of a Russian bottom trawl fishery during recent years. Juveniles of grenadiers inhabit midwater layers until maturation. Commercial aggregations of adults occur near and over the bottom at depths from 300–600 m to 1,500–2,000 m. There are no considerable inter-annual changes in patterns of spatial distribution. Seasonal migrations of grenadiers are poorly understood. It was believed that they do not perform lengthy migrations, but giant grenadier has been shown to migrate along the Kuril Islands. This species is the most abundant grenadier in the study area. Ripe individuals occur all year but main spawning happens during summer and autumn. Diets of the three grenadiers differ significantly. Giant grenadier consumes benthic and interzonal organisms, Pacific grenadier eats mostly benthic invertebrates, while popeye grenadier prefers pelagic prey. Difficulties faced by the fishery include the depth of fish and poor flesh quality, which means stocks have not been heavily exploited. Processing of grenadiers for human consumption, including flesh, canned eggs, and liver, could make their harvesting more profitable.

Specific Identity

A new species of the pandalid shrimp genus Pandalus Leach, 1814, Pandalus ivanovi n. sp., is described on the basis of material from the Sea of Okhotsk off eastern Sakhalin, at depths of 150–200 m. It is morphologically closest to Pandalus hypsinotus Brandt, 1851, a commercially important species widely distributed in the northern North Pacific. Because of the strong similarities between the new species and P. hypsinotus, we have examined syntypes of the latter species in order to confirm the specific identity. The new species can be distinguished from P. hypsinotus by the more strongly upturned rostrum, the relatively low postrostral ridge on the carapace, fewer carpal articles of the left second pereopod and the small body size. The coloration in life is also different between the two. There is an indication of protandry in the new species, like other congeneric species.

The term “window” in architecture usually stands for an opening in a wall or roof for penetration of natural light, sunrays and fresh air in premises. Recently, the requirement of contact with environment is added to this condition. It is especially relevant for residential buildings where rooms are considered residential if they have windows. The energy consumption of a building depends on sizes, form and location of windows. In winter, windows cause huge heat losses, in summer, on the other hand, large heat enters a building via the windows and is required to be removed by means of air conditioning. Moreover, windows are used for penetration of natural light in premises, which assists in saving of large amounts of power for artificial illumination. This article discusses partial solving the problem of the energy efficiency of residential buildings by determining the most efficient area of windows in terms of energy spending for compensation of heat losses via windows in winter, elimination of heat penetration through them in summer and energy losses for artificial lighting throughout the year. The analysis of the results of calculation of power consumption for residential premises in conditions of monsoon climate of the Russian Far East and Northern areas of China (PRC) is provided.

Subject. The article addresses the tax liabilities of taxpayers registered in the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, which should be paid to the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation, as well as the factors of the said debt growth. Objectives. Our aim is to assess the level of tax debt of regions of the Russian Far East and identify the correlation between the factors and the amount of tax debt. Methods. The study rests on methods of analysis, generalization, grouping, systematization, and the correlation and regression analysis. Results. We analyzed the level of tax debt for the entire Far Eastern Federal District and by region, identified factors affecting the growth of tax debt therein. The paper assesses the structure of tax debt by type of taxes and activity of debtors. The unveiled factors may help control changes in the size of tax debt in the Russian Far East and develop effective measures to improve the debt collection. Conclusions. The study shows that there is an increase in the tax debt in the regions of the Russian Far East, in the VAT in particular. The factor analysis revealed that the volume of sales of wholesale enterprises, investment in fixed capital, the consumer price index have the largest impact on the amount of tax debt.

The paper summarizes information on chromosome numbers (CNs) of the Grass species (Poaceae) in the flora of Russian Federation, obtained on the original material, most part - from the Russian Far East (RFE). In some species the CNs are known in Russia or in the world only from RFE, in some – from one locality or few, or from one subregion of RFE. The grass species in RFE often occur in mountain regions and near seacoasts; some species are endemics, some were studied near the limits of their geographical distribution areas. The diversity of CNs, the special features of the CNs distribution in some grass groups are discussed. The alien species are abundant in RFE, and their CNs are also involved in the study. For karyologically polymorphous species further studies are needed.
