ABSTRACT

In 1994−1995 the state of benthic communities in the Volga river and the Rybinsk reservoir (Yaroslavl' and Vologda regions, Russia) was assessed based on six parameters of benthic communities and "a combined index of the state of community". Correlation between some parameters of benthic communities and chemical composition of bottom sediments was established. The state of benthic communities is primarily conditioned by the influence of natural environmental factors. The most pronounced anthropic impact is observed in the vicinity of large industrial centers, including Cherepovets, Rybinsk, and Yaroslavl'.
