Some data on the content of organic carbon in rivers in the winter months. [Translation from: Gidrochim. Mat. 23, 36-38, 1955]

Observations are reported on the content of organic matter in the Moscow region in 1941. Some data is given on alkalinity, oxygen content and colourisation of the rivers.

Optical properties of the organic substances from aqueous humus surface waters. [Translation from: Gidrochim. Mat. 23, 31-35, 1955]

Dissolved organic matter, especially turf and peat, is repsonsible for the colouration of water. The reported study tried to determine the nature of the colouring agent or organic matter by the establishment of a relationship between the intensity of colouration and the total organic matter content. 44 waters from different sources were examined.

Photosynthesis of phytoplankton of the Klyaz'minsk reservoir. [Translation from: Trudy VI Soveshchaniya po Problemem Biologii Vnutrennikh Vod. Moscow, Izd. Akad. Nauk SSSR. pp. 273-287, 1955]

The processes of synthesis and destruction of organic matter play an important role in the ”self-cleaning” of reservoirs. The basic problem of this investigation consists of the role of phytoplankton in enriched waters of the Klyaz'minsk water reservoir through the solution of oxygen and its part in the ”self-cleaning” of the water reservoir. Observations on the interesting process of photosynthesis and the breakdown of organic matter was conducted by us on the eastern stretch of water in the Klyaz'minsk Reservoir during the growing periods of 1945 to 1948, by the widely applied bottle method (Vinberg 1934). This study reports mainly on the he vertical distribution of photosynthesis and respiration in plankton of the reservoir.

The morphology, increase and systematica of Sphaerotilus natans is studied and culture methods examined.

Philopotamidae. Key to genera - mature larvae [Translation from: Fauna SSSR, Trichoptera II , part 1, pp 367-368, 1964

During 1964, the offshore fishing station, Cochin, took up a programme of exploratory tuna fishing in the deeper waters off Cochin. A side trawler was converted into a tuna long liner for this purpose.
