1992. August.

Research voyage on the R/V Sprut of the Odessa Branch, IBSS in the NW Black Sea bays Egorlyk and Tendra. Objectives: environmental assessment of shallow-water bays as feeding grounds of young fishes. Large amounts of young turbot, gobies, and grey mullet were observed. First epineustonic insect in the Black Sea (Clunio ponticus, Diptera, Chironomidae) was observed and described.

1994. September.

Research voyage on the R/V Sprut of the Odessa Branch, IBSS in the Danube delta and the Zhebriansky Bay. Objectives: environmental assessment of shallow-water marine and brackish-water areas as feeding grounds of fishes. In the predeltaic area were observed many young fishes (sturgeons, gobies, fresh-water Cyprinidae) and ichthyophagous birds feeding on it (pelicans, cormorants, gulls).

1997. June-July.

First land-based hydrobiological expedition in the coastal waters of the Zmeiny Island (Snake Island) in the Black Sea. Objectives: plankton, neuston, benthos, and ichthyological researches in island's coastal zone, which is inaccessible for ship's investigations. Many specimens of the Red Data Book crabs species and other organisms were observed. The phenomenon of "island's gigantism" among marine invertebrate and fish was noted.
