Abstract

For the first time for the Amga, a large river running through Central and South Yakutia, the data on the structure of phytoplankton from the river head to its mouth have been obtained. Patterns of the development of plankton algae groupings and formation of hydrochemical water behavior of the river have been revealed. We also made a complex assessment of the water quality over physical and chemical parameters, saprobic algae and phytoplankton biomass. The background data on the structure of phytoplankton and hydrochemistry of the Amga will serve as the basis for monitoring in the case of possible disturbance of the environmental situation at the river because of the coming operation of the ES-PO oil piрeline.
