in the Okhotsk Sea
6.6.3.1 Introduction and Overview
Okhotsk Sea is one of the most unique object of the northern latitudes, where
dynamics of ecological processes and their correlation with global changes were
studied with poor accuracy, what did not allow to realize reliable forecasting of the
ecosystem productivity. Therefore, principal concern is given to the study of the
Okhotsk Sea ecosystem. Results of theoretical and experimental investigations that
were received earlier, allow to understand the basic schemes for energy
flows in the
Okhotsk Sea ecosystem and to address to the more detail consideration of their
structure, depending on the climate parameters changes and anthropogenic factor
impacts, including pollution and
fl
shery.
Certainly, the basic interest to the Okhotsk Sea ecosystem state was appeared
and was developed from the direction of Russian Federation and Japan, as countries
realizing the use of its ecological resources. There, exist institutes both in Russian
Federation and in Japan, where the basic goal of them is the study of conditions of
functioning and using the Okhotsk Sea resources. The Moscow Institute of
Oceanology and Far-Eastern Institute of Oceanology of Russian Academy of Sci-
ences and others, have collected for the realization of this goal, enough complete
series of data about characteristics of various trophic levels of the Okhotsk Sea
ecosystem and have studied in detail the geophysical and meteorological conditions
of its functioning (Leonov et al. 2007; Dulepova 2002). All Russian Scienti
c-
Research Institute for Fishery and Oceanography and set of other Institutes have
published many scienti
c works with the description of dynamics of Okhotsk Sea
aquageosystem parameters, including biological, chemical, physical, and geological
