Alien species in the Far-Eastern seas of Russia are considered in the paper of Zvyagintsev A.Yu. et al. Distribution of invader species in the open shallow waters of the Saratov Reservoir are given in the paper of Zinchenko T.D. and Kurina E.M. In the article of Klevakin A.A. et al., peculiar biological features of the Pungitius pungitius L. in the Ushakovka River population for the term of observations since 2003 are marked.

In publication of Martemyanov V.I., the results of analysis of the influence of mineral composition of environment on the indices of water-salt metabolism of introduced into the Rybinsk Reservoir Dreissena polymorpha Pallas are given. Structural characteristics of the Caspian invader – the leech Archaeobdella esmonti Grimm in the Rybinsk Reservoir are discussed in the paper of Perova S.N. In the article of Selifonova Zh.P. the data on distribution and biology of the new for the northern-eastern part of the Black Sea species of copepods – Oithona brevicornis Giesbrecht are given. The data on penetration time of the alien fish species into Kuibyshev Reservoir, their sex and age composition are given in the paper of Semenov D.Yu.
