- role of oceanic periglacial in the evolution of the shelf and marine ecosystems of the Arctic
- biology and ecology of benthos, plankton, marine fishes, birds and mammals
- physiologic and biochemical adaptations of marine living organisms to arctic conditions; cellular and molecular mechanisms of the regulation of their vital functions
- chemical and radioactive contamination of the environment and biota of marine ecosystems
- methodology and methods of environmental assessments of projects on exploitation of living and non-living resources of the continental shelf and coastal zone
- new information technologies and databases on oceanology and hydrobiology
- aquaculture biotechnologies, science basis for rational use and conservation of biologic resources of the arctic and southern seas of Russia
