         Scientific activity: ichthyological investigations in the Far Eastern and the Arctic Seas and also in different regions of the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans: morphology, ecology, fish systematic and marine biogeography and also on feeding behaviour and functional morphology; more than 130 new taxa are described. Elaborated issues of biogeography and ecology; origin of the amphiboreal, amphipacific and bipolar distribution (1962-1997), the concept of true and secondarily deep sea species (1953), system of zoogeographical distribution of Arctic and Antarctic (1964); hypothesis of trans-oceanic (non-Arctic) distribution of the secondarily deep sea boreal-pacific species up to depths of the northern Atlantic and Arctic (1990); vertical zonation of the bottom fauna of the World Ocean (1979); phenomenon of the glacial submergence of bottom fauna of the Antarctica (1986); foundation of living forms of fishes of polar seas (cryopelagic species, 1970); the concept of the bionomic bipolarity of marine fauna (1997).
