Abstract
Plankton communities are very important for the functioning of aquatic ecosystems [1, 2]. Phytoplankton is the dominant primary producer in the aquatic environment, from which most food webs begin, and which produces oxygen necessary for aquatic organisms [3]. Indicators of phytoplankton development are used to assess the ecological state of water bodies [4]. By quickly responding to changes in the aquatic environment, phytoplankton can serve as an indicator of the state of the entire ecosystem. Objective—A comparative analysis of the state of phytoplankton in two lakes experiencing anthropogenic pressure and located on the island territory of the Solovetsky archipelago and on the mainland of the Arkhangelsk oblast in the Northern Dvina River basin. Lake Bannoe (Gagarye) is located on the territory of Solovetsky village. Previously, a leather processing plant and a bathing facility of the monastery were located on its shore. Now there are buildings of the Solovetsky branch of the Arkhangelsk experimental algae plant. Lake Kholmovskoye is located in the Primorsky district of the Arkhangelsk oblast, 18 km from the city of Arkhangelsk. On the western shore of the lake is the village of Kholm and summer cottages. From the side of Lake Kholmovskoye, the village of Kholm is surrounded by an artificially dug ditch, into which all household drains flow. On the northern shore are former household premises. An operating cage trout farm is located in the water area of the lake, which is a source of additional organic matter entering the lake waters.
