Predatory fish in aquatic ecosystems regulate the abundance of other species, which weakens the tension of competitive relations and stabilizes the community. Walleye refers to large pelagic predators, which, with a high number, effectively eat small and low-value commercial fish, performing a biomeliorative function in the fishing part of the community. At the same time, pike perch is in great demand, both on the foreign and domestic market. Its meat is considered a dietary product - its fat content is minimal. The nutritional value of walleye is very high - the protein content in it exceeds 18%. Zander meat contains 20 amino acids, 8 of which are irreplace able (that is, they are not synthesized by the human body), and, in addition, contains a lot of minerals necessary for humans (phosphorus, potassium, iodine, molybdenum, manganese and others). It should also be noted that in Kazakhstan, only ordinary pike perch is caught and exported, the reserves of which are being depleted. Therefore, as an alternative, it is supposed to use a sea walleye. The biological resources of sea pike perch and other marine fish species of the Caspian Sea are not sufficiently exploited, since marine fisheries in our country are poorly developed, and the commercial population of these fish species allows increasing the catch in water areas under the jurisdiction of Kazakhstan. This paper describes the qualitative characteristics of sea zander caught in the research catches of the Mangistau coast of the Middle Caspian, as well as the degree of study in the Caspian Sea and other water bodies. The article describes the methodology for conducting a complete biological analysis of fish and presents statistical data processing. The paper gives a description of the following indicators: size-weight, age, sex ratio. Calculated fatness and determined the rate of size and weight growth in sea zander. Based on the results of these studies, a high correlation was found between age and weight, age and size of fish, and size and weight. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Constancy morphological features of bee pollen of different plant species is a prerequisite for research of morphometric parameters lumps of pollen, collected by bees from productive pollen plants. The relevance of this direction research in beekeeping determines it possible to use the results obtained to improve industrial technologies receiving pollen and bee bread. The aim of research was to determine morphometric parameters lumps of pollen collected by bees from genus Salix L. Bee pollen samples were selected in Skvyra, Baryshevka, Rokytno, Ivankivtsi Kyiv region, Ukraine, from 01.04 to 04.15.16. Identification of bee pollen carried by pollen analysis, found - S. caprea L., S. aurita L., S. cinerea L. Morphometric measurements were performed in the laboratory Institute of preserving biodiversity and biosafety at Slovak Agricultural University in Nitra on the device: ANG 100C (Ахis), Zeiss SteREO Discovery V20, Nicolet 6700 FT-IR Spectrometer, Lovibond SP62 S/N 044929. For computer data processing used Ascension Waves Vision and Microsoft Office Excel - 2010. Established homogeneous lumps of pollen collected by bees from genus Salix L. typical of length - 2.92 ± 0.453 mm, width - 2.36 ± 0.444 mm, mass - 7.04 ± 2.045 mg. Color models monophloral bee pollen from genus Salix L. inherent parameters: L - 56.18 ± 0.345, a - 7.92 ± 0.210, b - 26.79 ± 0.368 units. The results of research make it possible to identify the botanical origin of bee pollen spectrometry method and can be used for evaluating the quality of bee pollen on morphometric parameters. In the future, necessary to conduct related research of bee pollen obtained from highly polliniferous species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
