HEAD Oleg G. KUSSAKIN, Dr. Sci. Biol., Academician <strong>of</strong> RAS.<br />

STAFF numbers 11, including 1 Academician, 2 Cand. Sci.<br />

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES: Hydrobiological survey <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> intertidal zone, its<br />

productivity; crustacean taxonomy. The Labora<strong>to</strong>ry has accomplished a<br />

hydrobiological survey <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 7000-km intertidal zone <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> far-eastern seas, from<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bering Strait <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Korean Peninsula. Qualitative and quantitative studies <strong>of</strong><br />

macro-and meiobenthos have been performed. Basing on a study <strong>of</strong> isopod<br />

crustaceans <strong>of</strong> boreal and temperate. The Labora<strong>to</strong>ry has accomplished a<br />

hydrobiological survey <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 7000-km waters and <strong>the</strong> deep sea, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor<br />

O. Kussakin made a zoogeographic demarcation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> shelf and developed an<br />

original concept which suggests that <strong>the</strong> deep-water fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> World Ocean<br />

is relatively young and has been formed by migrations from cold-water regions,<br />

mostly <strong>the</strong> Antarctic. Five volumes <strong>of</strong> identification keys have been published for<br />

isopod crustaceans and gastropod mollusks.<br />
