Abstract

Results.Results of analysis of biodiversity, structural characteristics and taxonomic composition of ichthyofauna in the Zmiinyi Island coastal waters have been presented. Seasonal dynamics of its number and biomass has been studied. The results of the analysis of some aspects of ecology and biology of the main mass species of fish are presented. Recommendations are given to improve monitoring of the ichthyofauna of coastal waters.

Сonclusions.  Quality of bottom communities monitoring in the Zmiinyi Island coastal waters can be increased significantly by development and implementation of non-contact low-budget video-monitoring methods to solve the problem of fish stock and biodiversity studying in inaccessible areas. It is anticipated that the method developed will help high precision assess of fish stock in inaccessible shelf areas where application of other methods is connected with technical difficulties, high cost and can lead to unreliable results. Elaboration of the method aimed at development of video materials received computer processing algorithms will significantly simplify analysis of the data collected.
