HYDROBIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF WATERBODIETS IN THE AREA OF CONSTRUCTION OF THE ORE DRESSING MILL CONNECTED TO THE APATITE-NEPHELINE DEPOSIT OLINIY RUCHEY (KOLA PENINSULA)
State-of-the-art in aquatic communities in waterbodies near the planned large industrial facility for mining and processing of apatite-nepheline ores from Oleneiy Ruchey deposit (Kola Peninsula) is studied. Judging by the quantitative and structural parameters of periphyton, phytoplankton, zooplankton and zoobenthos communities, the surveyed reservoirs are oligotrophyc, with high water quality. Results of the studies can be used as reference vaues for further environment monitoring after development of the deposit begins.
