Abstract

One of the primary goals was to estimate the impact of the concentration of radioactive caesium on meio- and macrobenthic organisms in Barents and Kara Seas. It is determine that macrobenthos is more inert component, less subjected to the influence of this factor. Meiobenthos reacts to the radioactive pollution by the change of the taxonomic diversity and quantitative characteristics faster then.
