Karelian scientists took part in the International Conference Youth in Science 2023 in Minsk
Employees of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS presented their research in animal ecological physiology at the 20th International Conference Youth in Science 2023 in Minsk. The scientists investigate the content of vital elements in the organism of game animals and the effects of biochemical and physiological characteristics on the behavior of American mink.

Karelian researchers looking for traces of ancient earthquakes in lake bottom sediments
Seismic events that took place in the territory of our republic and the Kola Peninsula 12 millennia ago are proxied by lacustrine sediments. Geophysical methods help detect traces of ancient earthquakes. Research in the field of paleoseismology has practical applications as well. To predict future earthquakes, it is important to understand the patterns of their recurrence in the past. This was the topic of the presentation by Leading Researcher at the Institute of Geology KarRC RAS Pavel Ryazantsev at KarRC RAS Learned Council meeting on September 28th.

Extracts of algae from the White Sea are potential raw material for agricultural crop growth stimulators
Liquid extracts from brown algae are widely used in practice worldwide. They help to increase crop yields and resistance to adverse environmental factors. However, these commercial formulas are kept secret under their trademarks. Studies by Karelian biologists will help develop domestic products from Arctic algae.

Ichthyologists assessed the outcomes of vendace introduction to Lake Vashozero, Kondopoga District
Specialists from the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS studied the state of hydrobiological communities, including the fish fauna, in Lake Vashezero in the Kondopoga District of Karelia. The commercial vendace species was artificially introduced into the lake, along with whitefish, in the 1930s. The outcomes of such an introduction can be assessed objectively only decades later. The conclusion of the scientists is that, unlike other species, the Onego vendance became successfully established and naturalized in Vashozero.
