The amphipod Gmelinoides fasciatus has spread throughout the littoral zone of Lake Onego over the past decade. The species was introduced into inland waterbodies of European Russia from the Baikal region in the 1970s. In Lake Onego the population indices of the species are relatively high (abundance – over 5000 ind./m2, biomass –
over 5.5 g/m2). At the same time, in the Petrozavodsk Bay, near the city of Petrozavodsk, the species abundance is quite low – 132–462 ind./m2. Great volumes of stormwater flow into the bay from the city of Petrozavodsk necessitating an assessment of the toxicity of the stormwater for G. fasciatus and of the environmental and toxicological status of the Petrozavodsk Bay littoral ecosystem. The results of stormwater bioassays using two species – G. fasciatus and the standard test organism Ceriodaphnia affinis are presented in this paper.
