Annual and seasonal long-time VIDEO-MONITORING of underwater landscapes,
their dynamics, and marine biodiversity along the constant underwater transects
mounted in the protected (no-touch) water areas of Peter the Great Bay have been
conducted since 2002 to assess and visualize any environmental and biotic changes

planktonic nets, diving, multifunctional probe and loggers.
What is the APN?
Inter-governmental network in the Asia
Pacific Region with the priority goals of:
Fostering global change through regional
cooperation and partnerships
Increasing developing country participation in
global change research through networking
and capacity building
Strengthening interactions between the natural

MARINE BIODIVERSITY OF THE COASTAL ZONES IN THE NW
PACIFIC: STATUS, REGIONAL THREATS, EXPECTED
CHANGES AND CONSERVATION
to collect information about overall species diversity and to compile species lists
of biota as a basis for monitoring of expected changes
to develop the method of videomonitoring of marine biota along the long-term
fixed transects
to inspect and study the species composition and ecological characteristics of the
biofouling communities and ballast waters of ships
to summarize data on biodiversity loss and modifications on tidal flats in three
involved countries
Meiobenthic studies in the IMB involve
both taxonomic and ecological aspects

Annual and seasonal long-time monitoring of fish fauna in
the Peter the Great Bay (Dr. A. Sokolovsky’s research team)
Marine fish fauna of the Primorye region is estimated about 306 species,
103 of them being south migrants entering our waters in warm years
13 species of tropical and subtropical fishes, new for Russian waters, entered
the bay within the last 10 years. 9 tropical species have been caught
within the last 5 years (2000-2004) because of the warming of surface waters
1. Coryphaena equisetis (dorado)
2. Brama japonica (Japanese bream)
3. Micracanthus striatus (striated micracanth)
4. Girella punctata (spotted girella)
5. Pictiblennius yatabei
(Yatabe blenniform fish)
6. Chirolophis saitone
(Saito blenniform fish)
7. Hyperogliphe japonica
(Japanese gyperogliph)
8. Hexagrammos otakii (Japanese greenling)
9. Liparis punctulatus (striped sea-snail)
10. Histrio histrio (frogfish)
11. Sphaeroides pachygaster (ball fish)
12. Seriola dumerili (greater amberfish)
13. Parupeneus spilurus (Japanese goat-fish)
Some warm-water species – garfish,
half-beaks, thread herring, Japanese
anchovy, mullet – extend their area of
distribution and have been involved into
fishery process in the Peter the Great Bay
At the same time, some cold-water
species valuable for fishery – walleye
pollock, Pacific herring, saffron cod,
plaices – often migrate from the Peter
the Great Bay to north for reproduction
All these species are at the first stages of acclimatization; still there
are no stable populations naturalized into local communities.

Trigla kumu
Sphoeroides pachygaster
Annual and seasonal long-time monitoring of fouling marine organisms
introduced to the Peter the Great Bay with warm water currents,
ships, and ballast waters. (Dr. A. Zvyagintsev’s research team)
16 species of tropical and subtropical sessile invertebrates (hydrozoans,
cirripedes, amphipods, polychaetes, bryozoans, tunicates) introduced in
our waters are found being in the process of acclimatization in the local
communities of the Peter the Great Bay within the last few years.
All of them are found as component of fouling on hydrotechnic
constructions (HTC)of the ports and harbors in Peter the Great Bay
Solitary ascidian (Tunicata), Molgula
Crustacean Balanus amphitrite, worm
manhattensis,introduced in 1999,
Hydroides elegans, and ascidian Molgula
became dominant in the fouling
manhattensis cause significant changes
in benthic communities and are close to community after 4 months of immersion
of the test plates in the Golden Horn
