✦ Synopsis

Periphyton was studied in the cooling pond of a nuclear power plant in the Ukraine. Fourteen periphytic communities called by the dominants were distinguished on the basis of an analysis of visually detected homogeneity distribution and with reference to results obtained from treatment of samples. Relationships among communities were determined by a method similar to taxonomic analysis according to E. S. SMIRNOV. The periphytic communities were shown to be integrated in two ,,large" communities gravitating towards the thermogradient poles. Temperature was the important factor that determined the mncrostructure of periphyton in the cooling pond.

The development of the periphytic algae and macrofauna was examined in two fish ponds. 43 genera of algae (mainly diatoms) were found on the substrates, and the maximum of algae was reached on the 10th day. The periphytic macrofauna consisted of 37 taxonomical groups (mainly Chironomidae). Larvae of
