light pollution, Lake Baikal, amphipods, nocturnal migrationsAbstract
The nocturnal vertical migration activity of amphipods in the two coastal areas of Lake Baikal, exposed and not exposed to the influence of artificial lighting was investigated. In the conditions of prolonged artificial lighting, the migration activity of amphipods reduced on average by 20 times. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant differences between the two places of video surveillance indicating about the significant impact of light pollution on the nocturnal migration of the benthic animals.
