According to him, in the reporting year, the institute conducted a comparative analysis of species diversity of infusoria communities in different areas of the Caspian Sea and a preliminary assessment of environmental quality according to the structure of free-living primitive communities. , Amphisiellidae, Oxytrichidae, Parameciidae, Prorodontidae, Metopidae, Stokesiidae, Uronematidae, Pleuronematidae, Euplotidae, Colepidae, Urostylidae, Tintinnoidea) 29 species of infusor were recorded.
