Abstract
This paper discusses the results of hydrobiological investigations on the shelf of the Russian Far-Eastern seas performed between 1967 and the present by the academic institutions of the Russian Far East, primarily located in Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskii. It is shown that, during this short period, a great many investigative expeditions were carried out in the upper shelf zone of all three Russian Far-Eastern seas. The composition and distribution patterns of coastal communities were studied in the Sea of Japan.and the Bering Sea and in the region of the Kuril Islands. At the same time, comprehensive hydrobiological investigations were performed at several biological stations, mostly located in the Sea of Japan. It is noted that ecosystem investigations are now being successfully carried out in different regions of the Far-Eastern seas, although there are still few conclusive papers about certain ecosystems and their functioning and dynamics.
