The total protein content in the blood plasma carp increased under methylamine concentration 0.009 mg/dm3, whereas its concentration 0.005 and 0.007 mg/dm3 and all considered concentration of propylamine (0.04, 0.06 and 0.08 mg/dm3) did not affect total protein content. The main portion of proteins in the carp's blood plasma was formed by proteins of the molecular weight 52-54, 68-72 and 90 kDa, whereas content of proteins of the molecular weight 35, 80, 100, 150-170, 340 and 900 kDa was notably lower. After 72 h of exposition under different methylamine concentration, content of proteins of the molecular weight 25, 90 and 100 kDa increased, at the same time content of proteins of the molecular weight 35-52, 150-170 and 180-190 kDa decreased, and content of other proteins did not change. Changes of the proteins' fractional composition under the propylamine impact depended on its concentration and consisted in elevated content of proteins of the molecular weight 90 and 100 kDa, lower content of the fractions 150-170 and 180-190 kDa, and constant content of other fractions.","PeriodicalId":39692,"journal":{"name":"Hydrobiological Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67522502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Local discreteness conditioned by the difference in the structure of dominant complexes (polydominant complexes - in river branches and oligodominant complexes - in the canal and reservoir) is registered with a spatial continuum of phytoplankton, which manifests itself in a predominance of plankton forms of diatoms, green, and blue-green algae. Phytoplankton cell numbers and biomass are typical of mesotrophic (delta branches) and hypertrophic (the canal and reservoir) ecosystems, whereas oligodominant and polydominant complexes are responsible for high information diversity belonging to essential phytoplankton adaptation characteristics.","PeriodicalId":39692,"journal":{"name":"Hydrobiological Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67522831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Changes in the aspartate amino-transferase (AsAT) and alanine aminotransferase (AlAT) activity under toxic impact were species-specific and depend on nature and concentration of metal in water, tissular and cellular localization of enzymes. Impact of all metals, except for Cu, caused increase of mitochondrial AsAT activity in liver and muscles of carp. Exposure to sublethal concentrations of Zn2+, Cu2+, and Pb2+ ions also resulted in AsAT activation in the mitochondria of mollusk's tissues. AlAT activity in the cytoplasmic fraction of muscles and liver of both hydrobionts increased under the impact 5 MPC of all metal ions and decreased under 2 MPC. Changes of AlAT activity in mitochondria and AsAT in cytoplasm of both fish and mollusk under the impact of 2 MPC were multidirectional and determined by metal and its concentration. The transaminases' role in adaptation of the aquatic animals to the impact of heavy metal ions consists in redistribution of amino acid reserves in order to use some for ammonia detoxification (glutamate, aspartate), and others (keto acids) for energy producing to counteract the stress factor. Changes in transaminases' activity reflect the state of the organism under the impact of elevated concentrations of heavy metal ions, characterize degree of the considered hydrobionts resistance to pollution, and can also be used to predict changes in biocenoses in the contaminated areas.","PeriodicalId":39692,"journal":{"name":"Hydrobiological Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67522939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
