Adaptation of Biological Cycles of Fishes in the Tendra, Yahorlyk Bays and Adjacent Waters of the Black Sea to Environmental Changes Related to Recent Climate Changes

Abstract

The article briefly describes the main changes of the meteorological processes in the considered region over the last 10 years as compared with the long-term meteorological data since 1950s. Adaptations of the biological cycles of different fish species in the Tendra and Yahorlyk bays and adjacent waters of the Black Sea under the influence of climate changes over the last 10-30 years are considered. It was established that the most notable changes took place owing to changes of the thermal regime and wind activity. The appearance of new fish species in these water areas under the influence of weather conditions and increase of the rare species occurrence are discussed.
