"AM 1 3 1982 Gidrobiol. issled. vodoyomov Sibiri (Hydrobiological Study of Siberian Water Bodies), 1976, pp. 104-112 (104)* Oligochaetes of the Angara R. and the Bratsk Reservoir by T.V. Akinshina and A.A. Tomilov Oligochaetes are one of the leading groups of the zoobenthos in many of the artificially created water bodies, especially ponds and reservoirs. They are frequently superior to the other groups of invertebrates in numbers and biomass. Because of this, the ben- Z 0 42 thic laboratory of the Biological and Geographic Research Institute, .47 tIJ < g E 41) Reservoir from it 2 ••r, which has taken part in a joint study of the Bratsk Z 0 0 i; e the Ce (.12 the year it was filled (from 1964), has attempted to establish EZ g CI o0 I role of oligochaetes in the formation of the benthos, their quanti- Lu É CZ4 16 ‘12 among other invertebrates, and their horizontal Lu tative relations Z Ci »— D Ce and vertical distribution in the water body. We have studied the taxonomic composition in order to establish the dominant families, genera and species, and have attempted to establish the role of the Baikal endemic species (of those previously inhabiting the Angara R.) in the present-day bottom fauna of the reservoir. This paper is based on the material brought back by the 1967- 1968 expeditions conducted in the Angara sector of the reservoir, as well as on series of year-round collections of zoobenthos taken every ten days (1970-1971) and every week (1971-1972) at permanent *The numbers In the rïght-hand margIn are the pages of the Russîan text - translator SEC 5-25T (Rev. 6/78) 16, stations of the Balagansk section. Samples of the zoobenthos were taken three times at each station, with a Petersen bottom sampler, DCh-0.025. In 1967-1968, samples were taken at 293 stations along the lines of transverse sections for 10-20 km along the entire Angara sector of the reservoir, and at a large number of stations in the bays of Unga, Uda, Osa, Odissa, Yelovka, Kui, Balya, Zyaba and Kezhma- Kezhemskaya. The Balagansk section is found near the town of Balagansk, 107 km from where the backwater begins to peter out (Svirsk), in the middle of the reservoir. The stations are located on a transverse section through the Balagansk expansion of the reservoir from the left shore at depths of 1, 3, 5, 8, 12, 25 and 42 m in succession. The last station is found in the trough of the former Angara river bed. Oligochaetes comprised a large group of the benthos on the soft sandy-muddy and muddy substrates in the area:of the Angara now occu- pied by the Bratsk Reservoir even before its formation. According (10.5 to the data of N.V. Vershinin [1], they constituted an average 0.15- 6.4 g/m2 or from 16 to 80% of the biomass of the entire benthos in the upper half of this area which extends for 225 km between Malaya Buret' and Atalanka. In some places, e.g. near Konovalovo (in the part of the river adjacent to a sand bar along the shore), their 2 biomass reached 27 g/m . On 4 sections in the lower half of the area extending for 235 km between Atalanka and Bratsk,oligochaetés constituted an insignifi- cant part of the benthos 0.1-5.8% of the biomass or 0.03-1.2 g/m 2 . In comparison with the upper half of the area, here we observed a 6-fold decrease in the biomass of oligochaetes, which corresponded to the decrease in their population density. Above the Bratsk Reservoir, in the Angara R. below Irkutsk, R.A. Golyshkina [3] noted concentrations of oligochaetes with a bio- mass of up to 63 g/m2 on gray mud with detritus and sand, and 21.7 g/m2 on fine gray mud. In the lakes of the Angara floodplain, which are found on is- lands, the proportion of oligochaetes was extremely low with a high biomass of the benthos (from 6 to 81 g/m2) [1]. Thus, before the Bratsk Reservoir came into being, oligochaetes were an important group of the benthos in the Angara R., especially on silted sands and in the muds of the river bed, behind the islands and sand bars, in quiet channels and backwaters. An interesting peculiarity was nôted in the distribution of oligochaetes, i.e. they were more abundant in the part of the river from Irkutsk to Atalanka, than in its lower part from Atalanka to Bratsk. The same was observed during the years the reservoir was being filled. N.V. Vershinin and A.V. Sycheva [2] indicate that, iA July of 1963, the average biomass of oligochaetes in the former Angara river-bed in the upper and lower parts of the reservoir diminished from 4.0-2.5 to 0.5 g/m2 respectively, and the percentage of oligo- chaetes in the biomass of the entire benthos also decreased. By the time the reservoir had been filled (1967-1968), oligo- chaetes were distributed extensively, but nonuniformly. In the bays of the upper part of the rèservoir, where the conditions are the .eutro hic closest_to those of shallôw .,lpLkes, oligochaetes are of secondary importance and do not comprise more than an average 3-8% of the whole biomass of zoobenthos. In the deep bays of the middle and lower parts (Balya, Kezhma, Zyaba) which are found in the taiga zone, oligochaetes constitute 10-11% of the biomass, their numbers usually increasing with depth, toward the boundaries of the bays. The following changes in density, biomass and the quantitative significance of oligochaetes in the benthos are observed within the boundaries of the Angara stretch of water (without the bays), from the top of the reservoir (Svirsk) to the dam of the Bratsk Hydro- electric Power Plant. The upper part, which extends for 45 km, is (106 not very deep (up to 20 m) and has a slow, attenuated current. The littoral zone (0-5 m) occupies 1144 hectares, i.e. 7.6% of the en- • tire area of this sector which covers 15,022 hectares. Oligochaetes populate the entire bottom, and are characterized by a high density and biomass (table 1). They are scarce only in the near-shore strip (from 0 to 1 m). However, - às the bottom descends , the num- ber of oligochaetes on the profile of each of the 4 sections increases and reaches its maximum in the former Angara river bed. Because of this, the average biomass in the profundal zone is 4 times greater (16.1 g/m2 ) than in the littoral zone (4.1 g/m2 ). Oligochaetes dominate both in the profundal zone (88%) and in the littoral (65%), constituting 87.2% and 15.2 . g of the whole zoobenthic biomass in this area as a whole. Oligochaetes are equally scarce throughout the littoral zone in the middle and lower sectors (see table 1), their biomass averaging 0.32 g which is only 4.6% of the entire (107) benthos. However, the Oligochaeta sharply predominate over the other groups of animals in the profundal zone. The number of worms, their biomass and their percentage in the biomass of the entire benthos per square metre increase as we move farther from shore and as the depth increases (table 2).

SHISHATSKY, Cand. Sci. (Econ.) E-mail: [email protected] Institute of Economy and Industrial Engineering of the Siberian Department of the Russian Academy of Sci- ences, Kransnoyarsk, Russia Abstract. The article considers the main prerequisites and the directions of development of Northern and Arctic areas of the Krasnoyarsk Krai based on creation of reliable local transport and power infrastructure and formation of hi-tech and competitive territorial clusters. We examine both the current (new large min- ing and processing works in the Norilsk industrial region; development of Ust-Eniseysky group of oil and gas fields; gasification of the Krasnoyarsk agglomeration with the resources of bradenhead gas of Evenkia; ren- ovation of housing and public utilities of the Norilsk agglomeration; development of the Arctic and north- ern tourism and others), and earlier considered, but rejected, projects (construction of a large hydroelectric power station on the Nizhnyaya Tunguska river; development of the Porozhinsky manganese field; place- ment of the metallurgical enterprises using the Norilsk ores near Lower Angara region; construction of the meridional Yenisei railroad and others) and their impact on the development of the region. It is shown that in new conditions it is expedient to return to consideration of these projects with the use of modern tech- nologies and organizational approaches. It means, above all, formation of the local integrated regional pro- duction systems and networks providing interaction and cooperation of the fuel and raw, processing and innovative sectors.

    LTEU 153GS —Environmental Studies in Russia: Lake Baikal Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia is approximately 25 million years old, the deepest and oldest lake in the world, holding more than 20% of earth’s fresh water, and providing a home to 2500 animal species and 1000 plant species. It is at risk of being irreparably harmed due to increasing and varied pollution and climate change. It has a rich history and culture for Russians and the many indigenous cultures surrounding it. It is the subject of social activism and public policy debate. Our course will explore the physical and biological characteristics of Lake Baikal, the risks to its survival, and the changes already observed in the ecosystem. We will also explore its cultural significance in the arts, literature, and religion, as well as political, historical, and economic issues related to it. Class will be run largely as a seminar. Each student will be expected to contribute based on their own expertise, life experience, and active learning. As a final project, student groups will draw on their own research and personal experiences with Lake Baikal to form policy proposals and a media campaign supporting them.

The Corporation’s Russia Initiative was launched in October of 1999 in the realization that, as Russia’s economic, political, military and social situation deteriorat- ed, we could not continue to conduct business as usual with respect to our grantmaking activity in that country. Further, the Russia Initiative was born in a climate of increasing “Russia fatigue” in the U.S., a malaise that led to a somewhat disingenuous debate over “who lost Russia.” As this debate continues to unfold, there is the danger that the unwarranted optimism of the post- Communist years of the early 1990s will be supplanted by an equally unjustified pessimism about Russia’s future. Under the influence of this mood swing, policymakers in both Russia and the West currently appear to be at a loss about how to interact and about what kind of relationship Russia can, or should now have, with the western world. To play at least a small role in addressing this impasse, our Russia Initiative was aimed at undertaking a comprehensive assessment of Russia’s internal developments and offering this assess- ment to policymakers and the informed public in both countries.
