Abstract
Aim. The purpose of the research was to study the state of hydrobionts in the Tyub-Karagan Bay structure by season for a comparative analysis of their state with previous studies by the authors.
Material and Methods. The conditions of hydrobionts (phyto, zooplankton and macrozoobenthos) of the Tyub-Karagan Bay structure have been studied for three seasons. Studies were carried out by traditional methodology.
Results. The species composition of phytoplankton communities in spring was found to be less constant than in autumn; this is associated with heterogeneity in external conditions at the beginning of the growing season. The seasonal dynamics of zooplankton conformed to certain patterns. As a rule, from the beginning to the end of the growing season there was an enrichment of species composition and an increase in the quantitative indicators of zooplankton communities. The highest biomass was formed by bottom cenoses, where large mollusks play a leading role. Conclusion. During the 2018 research period, species richness and species diversity of phytoplankton were at a high level. Representatives of two categories were observed most often. Blue-green dominated in number, while diatoms formed the basis of biomass. Species richness and species diversity of zooplankton was at a low or moderate level and most often constant. The seasonal dynamics of macrozoobenthos had common and specific features, depending on the research station location. Disproportionate changes in the quantitative indicators of bentonites are associated with a decrease in the average weight of individuals by autumn. This happened both through the strengthening of the role of small species and by an increase in the proportion of younger age stages in populations of bottom invertebrates.

Резюме
Целью исследований было изучение состояния гидробионтов в районе структуры Тюб-Караган по сезонам для сравнительного анализа состояния гидробионтов с предыдущими исследованиями авторов.
Материал и методы. Изучены состояния гидробионтов (фито- и зоопланктон и макрозообентос) структуры Тюб-Караган в трех сезонах. Исследования состояния гидробионтов проводились традиционным методом.
Результаты. Видовой состав фитопланктонных сообществ весной был менее постоянным, чем осенью, что связано гетерогенностью внешних условий в начале вегетационного сезона. Сезонная динамика зоопланктона подчинялась определённым закономерностям. Как правило, от начала к концу вегетационного сезона происходило обогащение видового состава и рост количественных показателей зоопланктонных сообществ. Наиболее высокую биомассу формировали донные ценозы, где ведущую роль играли крупные моллюски.
Заключение. В период исследований (2018 г.) видовое богатство и разнообразие фитопланктона находились на высоком уровне. В основном часто встречались представители двух отделов: сине-зеленые и диатомовые водоросли. Сине-зеленые доминировали по численности, а диатомовые формировали основу биомассы. Видовое богатство и разнообразие зоопланктона в период исследований на акватории находилось на низком или умеренном уровнях. Чаще всего видовой состав зоопланктона был постоянным. Сезонная динамика макрозообентоса имела общие и специфические черты, в зависимости от станции исследований. Непропорциональные изменения количественных показателей бентонитов связаны с уменьшением средней массы особей к осени. Это происходило как за счет усиления роли мелких видов, так и за счет увеличения доли младших возрастных стадий в популяциях донных беспозвоночных.

INTRODUCTION
Work by the authors in this research domain has been carried out since seismic survey operations in the region began, i.e. since the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, and enough has been published as background to the study results reported here.
Phytoplankton are a plurality of microscopic plants (especially algae) living in marine and fresh waters and passively moving under the influence of water currents.
Phytoplankton includes protococcal algae, dinoflagellate diatoms, coccolithophorids, and other unicellular algae (often colonial), as well as cyanobacteria.
Phytoplankton are the primary producers of organic matter in these waters and serve as food for zooplankton and zoobenthos. Rapid reproduction of phytoplankton causes what is known as "water bloom".
Published studies of the state of phytoplankton in the study area [1-4] indicate that different types of algae prevail in numbers and biomass in different years.
Plankton plays an importance role in the nutritional balance of aquatic ecosystems, being fed upon by many fish species, whales and certain birds. This fact makes plankton an essential source of life for all aquatic ecosystems, seas, oceans, rivers and lakes alike. The impact of plankton on water resources is so great that it can even affect the chemical composition of water.
Phytoplankton, bacterioplankton and zooplankton compose a plankton structural formation. All these organisms are small, being at most tens of micrometres in size for algae and a few centimetres for zooplankton. On the other hand, many animals, even the largest freshwater daphnia, are much smaller and reach only 5 mm in size. The organisms that make up plankton are in a constant state of suspension in the water column. At night zooplankton rise to the surface layers in seas and oceans and filter out microscopic algae. In the morning, zooplankton sink to a depth of 300 metres or more.
The majority of planktonic organisms spend their whole lives in water columns and are not related to a solid substrate. However, inactive stages of many of these organisms in assemble in bottom waters in the winter period, where they shelter from unfavourable conditions. There are also some organisms which spend only part of their lives in the water column. An example is meroplankton (from the Greek "meros" meaning part). It appears that the larvae of many benthic organisms - sea urchins, stars, worms, mollusks, crabs, corals, etc. conduct a planktonic life, directed by currents and, eventually, find locations for further habitation. There they assemble at bottom level and do not abandon their places for the rest of their life cycle. This life strategy is due to the fact that bottom organisms have a disadvantage in comparison with plankton, as they move from place to place relatively slowly. However, thanks to this planktonic larval stage, they are drifted by currents over extensive areas, similar to the seeds of terrestrial plants which are transmitted long distances by the wind. The eggs and larvae of some fish also lead a planktonic lifestyle.
However, as noted previously, most planktonic organisms are real plankters. They are born and die in the water column, which contains bacteria, microscopic algae,
various animals (protozoa, rotifers, mollusks, crustaceans, etc.).
Many planktonic crustaceans accomplish vertical migrations. At night they move up to the upper layer, where they eat algae. Closer to the morning they move to a depth of several hundred metres, where they are concealed from fish in these dark locations. Moreover, low temperatures reduce metabolism and consequently the energy rate for maintaining vital functions is lowered. At depths, the density of water is higher than at the surface and therefore organisms are in a state of neutral buoyancy, allowing them to exist in the water column with zero energy consumption.
Sea water may be coloured not only by algae but also by the presence of zooplankton. Most euphausiids are translucent and colorless but some are bright red. The red ones live in the colder northern and southern hemispheres and sometime make the whole sea seem red by accumulating in larger quantities.
The abundance of organisms available as food is very important for the intensive growth and development of larvae, as well as fish fry. It determines the degree of fish productivity.
The authors of the work have been studying hydrobionts in this region since the time seismic surveys have been conducted on this structure and many works have been published relating to the phenomena described here [3; 5-8].
The benthos is composed of organisms living at the bottom of water bodies and which are not able to swim in water for a long period of time. Systematically, it is divided into plant benthos (phytobenthos) and animal benthos (zoobenthos).
In contrast to planktonic organisms, benthic animals and plants do not need to lower their weight, so many of them, especially those living in coastal areas, are characterized by structural strength and often heavy deposits of lime. There are a quite large number of organisms, mainly crustaceans and worms, which can move up the water column during the breeding period or for food. Some species which spend a long period in water can lead both benthic and planktic lifestyles and belong to the group of planktobenthos or bentoplankton.
The structure of benthic organisms mainly depends on the nature of the substrate on which they live, as well as on light, wave strength, etc. Therefore, there are strong differences in the structure of similar forms living on soft ground or on stones, in the surf zone or at depth, in full light or in the dark. In relation to the substrate, benthic organisms are divided into the groups described below [9].
Attached organisms (sessile benthos). The bulk of plant benthos is comprised of attached forms; e.g. flowering plants which usually are secured into soft ground with the help of rhizomes and a large number of algae which attach to a solid substrate with their rhizoids. Among sessile zoobenthic organisms are sponges, hydroids, corals, sea lilies, worms, bryozoans, bivalve mollusks, barnacle crayfish, ascidia and a number of other animals. The general body shape of attached animals is usually elongated. Very often they are colonial organisms, such as sponges, hydroids, corals and bryozoans, which form
colonies by budding. Their organs of motion are usually reduced or change their function.
Attached animals, despite their lack of movement, easily spread due to the formation of free-floating larval stages carried by currents. Animals can lead a sedentary lifestyle only in the aquatic environment, as only in it can they get the food they need in the form of water-borne plankton or organic detritus descending from above.
Lying organisms. Animals lying on soft ground have a very wide and low body. Many flat forms are found among bottom fish, for example flatfish, as well as cephalopods. Some crabs, bivalves, sea urchins and other animals also have a flat body shape, some having outgrowths located in the same plane.
Burrowing organisms. Animals buried in the ground, the totality of which is called infauna, as opposed to epifauna, are represented mainly by attached and freely moving organisms and are found in many groups of the animal world, mainly among worms, sea urchins, holothurii, gastropods and bivalves, crustaceans, insect larvae and a number of other groups. Many animals immerse themselves in the ground for protective purposes. They live in passages or tubes, often strengthened by secretions; the length of the passages sometimes being several times the length of the organism itself. Some animals move freely in the ground, absorbing it to extract the organic matter in it or actively seeking prey.
Burrowing in the ground is associated with a number of changes in the structure of animals. The irregular sea urchins which are buried in the sand are devoid of the Aristotle's lantern; their needles being turned into digging organs. The shell of mollusks living in the soil becomes smooth, thin, not tightly closed; a well-developed leg lacks a byssus gland; long siphons, often exceeding the length of the animal itself, are used to communicate with the external environment.
Boring organisms. Dense sedimentary rocks, those of limestone, sandstone, slate and even granite, as well as marble, concrete, brick, wood and mollusk shells are drilled or bored by such organisms. Marine boring organisms include certain algae, sponges, worms, mollusks and crayfish. Drilling organisms usually never leave their home, increasing their volume as they grow; therefore, they are essentially prisoners. Food comes from small planktonic organisms and organic detritus suspended in water. The presence of free-swimming larval forms, however, allows the wide spread of drilling organisms.
Free-moving organisms (vagile benthos). Many animals move along the bottom with the help of variously arranged limbs; echinoderms have ambulacral legs, a leg serves as an organ of movement for mollusks and protozoa move with the help of cilia or pseudopodia. Some plants, such as bottom diatoms, also have the ability to move.
The development of benthos is determined by the nature of the grouns, the availability of food and the speed of the current. Zoobenthos organisms respond slightly to short-term changes in water quality.
On pure sand, the zoobenthos contains numerous worms, cryptochiron larvae, midge larvae, etc. With silting of a sandy bottom, large oligochaetes, mollusks develop and with silting of a clay bottom, a biocenosis forms consisting of mollusks, amphipods, shell crustaceans, numerous larvae of tendipids, etc. The temperature of
water has a great influence on the life of the zoobenthos -it determines its growth, development, reproduction, metabolism and biological cycles. In winter, the abundance of the zoobenthos is insignificant but when the water temperature rises above 10°C the reproduction of most bottom invertebrate species begins.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The object of the study was the region of the Tyub-Karagan Bay. As in previous years, studies were carried out from three sides of the Tyub-Karagan structure at equal distances from the perimeter. Unlike in previous years, no studies were conducted in the summer of 2018.
Phytoplankton samples were taken from the surface layer of water and fixed with 4% formalin. They were then concentrated by the sedimentary method [1012]. In laboratory conditions, samples were processed by generally accepted methods [13-15] and the following were determined: species composition, species abundance - million cells per cube m., biomass - mg per cubic metre of algae.
Zooplankton samples were taken from the surface layer of water using an Apstein net and fixed with 4% formalin. Then they were concentrated by the sedimentary method [10-12] and sent for processing to an accredited laboratory. In laboratory conditions, samples were processed according to generally accepted methods [1315], the taxonomic composition, abundance (species per 1 m3) and biomass (mg. per 1 m3) of zooplankton were determined.
Macrozoobenthos samples were taken from the sea bottom with a Peterson bottom grab and fixed with 4% formalin. They were then concentrated by the sedimentary method [10-12]. In the laboratory samples were processed by conventional methods [13-15] to the taxonomic composition, abundance (species per 1 m2) and biomass (mg. per 1 m2).
RESULTS
State of phytoplankton
The results are shown in Table 1 and in Figs. 1 and 2. Table 1 shows the species composition of phytoplankton by season for the studied period.
As can be seen from this table, the research recorded 37 species in winter, 31 species in spring and 67 species in autumn, of which 21 species were first detected by studies undertaken in the previous two years, such as dinophytic, euglenozoic, myozoic, ochrophytic and cyanobacteria. The number of species encountered from winter to spring decreased but by autumn increased more than twice, due to new species. Moreover, four were found only during the autumn study period. Briefly, they are as follow:
• Cyanobacteria - a blue-green algae, or cyanene which is a category of large gram-negative bacteria capable of photosynthesis accompanied by oxygen evolution.
• Ochrophyte algae or ochrophytes (lat. Ochrophyta) - a category of unicellular, colonial and multicellular algae.
• Euglenozoans (lat. Euglenozoa) - a type of unicellular protists, which includes a variety of free-living species, as well as a number of parasites including those that cause human diseases. The group consists mainly of monophyletic taxa.
• Miozoa - a taxonomic type within the supertype Alveolata (Alveolates) (lat. Alveolata) or Alveolobionts,
which is a prototype (Protista), uniting a number of taxonomic groups, including ciliates, sporozoans, and dinoflagellates.
Table 2-3 shows the average abundance and biomass of the main phytoplankton groups recorded in 2018.
Figures 1 and 2 provide diagrams of the average abundance and biomass of phytoplankton in the research area for the study period.
As can be seen from the table and Figure 1, over the studied period, it outnumbered cyanobacteria with 53.6% in numbers, and diatoms over 72% in Figure 2.

As you can see from this table, the number of species increases from winter to autumn, except for copepods, whose number of species decreases by autumn, and branchy crustaceans which were found only in spring. The maximum number of other species was found in autumn -9 species. In winter, in the region studied, 7 species of zooplankton were found; from the rotifers group and copepods, Synchaetavorax, Acartiatonsa were found
respectively. In spring, most often met was Podonpolyphemoides from the group of branched crustaceans. In autumn, as in winter, Acartiatonsa was often found from the copepods group, as well as from the group of other Cirripediagen. sp. and Hedistedi versicolor. In spring and autumn, up to 14 species of Rotatoriaplankters were found - 0.4%, Copopeda - 0.94%, Cladocera - 0.22%, others - 98.8%.

From Table 2 it can be seen that the maximum number of rotifers was found as indicated above and that their number increases from winter to spring (in spring at station 5 2021 species/m3 were detected, the lowest abundance at station 8 being 227 species/m3). The maximum number of copepods was detected in autumn at station 4 - 4086 specimens/m3, the smallest abundance recorded being 110 specimens/m3 at station 2. A large number of vegetable crustaceans as rotifers were identified in the spring - at station 8, 278 specimens/m3, and at station 2-80 specimens/m3. On the contrary, at station 2, the maximum
abundance of other types of extra-plankters was found to be 116,960 specimens/m3.
Other species prevailed in biomass (Table 5), the maximum biomass being detected at station 5 with a value of 3840.06 mg/m3 and at station 2, which revealed the maximum abundance, biomass was inferior with a value of 2672.98 mg/m3.
State of Macrozoobenthos
Bottom sediment is a storage zone for pollutants. In this regard, in our opinion, the study of the state of bottom
organisms is necessary, which we conduct annually accordingly.
In this area, macrozoobenthos occurs in five main groups; worms, mollusks, crustaceans, insect larvae and others. Worms mainly predominate in numbers and mollusks in biomass [3, 17-23].
The main indicator of the significance of individual taxa in productivity in these waters is their frequency of occurrence. Out of the total species diversity in the
zoobenthos, only a few, the most massive, can be distinguished with a frequency of occurrence of at least 30%: in the autochthonous complex among mollusks -Hypanis angusticostata, among crustaceans - Niphargoides similis, N. macrurus, Dikerogammarus haemobaphes, Corophium nobile, Pterocuma pectinata and Stenocuma graciliodes; from the Mediterranean - mollusks Abra ovata and the polychaete worm Nereis diversicolor.

From this table it can be seen that the number of species decreases from spring to autumn, i.e. if in the summer 28 species were found, by autumn 19 species remained.
In winter, there were often found: worms -Hypaniolakowalewskii; mollusks - Abra ovata; larval insects Chironomusalbidus. In spring there were often found worms - Hedistediversicolor worms; mollusks - Abra ovata and Cerastodermalamarcki; crustaceans - Stenogammarus (Stenogammarus) similis; larval insects -Chironomusalbidus. In autumn there were often found: worms - Oligochaetagen sp.; mollusks - Oligochaetagen sp.; larval insects - Chironomusalbidus.
As we can see from Table 8, for the studied period worms predominated in number with 3702 specimens/m2, then mollusks with 1013 specimens/ m 2 with insect larvae being third in number with 352 specimens/m2. This is typical for this region in many stations, the number of organisms being higher in the winter than in the autumn season. It is very rare to find other species of organisms in individual stations. In terms of biomass, worms fell to second place with 19443 mg/m2 giving way to mollusks in top place at 81536 mg/m2 and crustaceans in third at 13916 mg/m2.

CONCLUSION
It follows from the above that:
The species richness and species diversity of phytoplankton of the water areas studied were generally at a high level during the 2018 research period. The species composition of phytoplankton communities in spring was less constant than in autumn, due to the heterogenicity of external conditions at the beginning of the growing season.
The quantities of phytoplankton varied significantly over the seasons and years. Various types of algae dominated, depending on local habitat conditions. Throughout the water areas studied, mass algae species belonged to two categories - blue-green and diatomic. The species in the first category dominated in number, whiles the species in the second category formed the basis of the phytoplankton biomass.
The seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton were subject to certain patterns. As a rule, from the beginning to the end of the growing season there was enrichment of species composition, increase of diversity and growth of quantitative indicators of phytoplankton communities.
The species richness and species diversity of zooplankton of the areas studied during the 2018 research period was at a low or moderate level. Species composition of zooplankton communities was most often constant. A certain heterogeneity of the composition of plankton invertebrate species in spring reflected the heterogeneity of temperature conditions.
In the space-time aspect, the quantitative values of zooplankton varied significantly. The dominant position in zooplankton was occupied by a limited set of typical Caspian species, including Brachionus quadridentatus rotifers, copepods Calanipeda aquae-dulcis, Acartia tonsa, facultative plancters - clam larvae and cirripedia.
The seasonal dynamics of zooplankton were subject to certain patterns. As a rule, from the beginning to the end of the growing season there was enrichment of species composition and growth of quantitative indicators of zooplankton communities.
An undisturbed structure of species dominance characterized the zooplankton of Tyub- Karagan Bay in all seasons. The seasonal dynamics of species dominance structure indicated a weakening of eutrophication processes from spring to autumn throughout the water areas studied.
The seasonal dynamics of zooplankton in 2018 were most often characterized by the same direction, which indicated the influence of a single factor complex on the structure of plankton communities.
The highest biomass was formed by bottom cenoses in the studied area, where large clams played a leading role.
The seasonal dynamics of the macrozoobenthos had common and specific traits, depending on the research station. Inversely proportionate changes in zoobenthos quantities are associated with a decrease in the average mass of individuals in autumn. This occurs both through the increase in the role of small species and by an increase in the proportion of younger age stages in populations of bottom invertebrates.
