Abstract
The article provides an analytical review of long-term studies assessing the ecological state of Arctic marine ecosystems. The focus is on integral estimation methods. The issues associated with the application of biological methods for assessing the ecological state of the Russian continental shelf of Arctic seas are considered. The author briefly reviews existing methods for biotesting the marine environment and provides examples of the use of biotest systems. On the example of model benthic communities, an ecological assessment of marine benthic ecosystems is presented.
