Abstract
During the 39th cruise of RV Professor Logachev, ecological studies of the Russian exploration area in the central part of the Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge were conducted. New data on the composition and structure of benthic communities as well as composition and distribution of ichthyofauna were obtained.
