Oceanology Aims and scope

Abstract—The article touches upon methodological problems of studying the underwater fauna, plant, and micro- and mesorelief of the near-bottom zone of the Russian Arctic seas in relation to regional ecosystems. The methods and technical tools for underwater observations used on Arctic expeditions of the Institute of Oceanology are considered. Technical solutions are proposed to increase the efficiency of sonar and visual inspection of the seafloor surface. The results of experimental studies are presented.
