Description: 
The Institute of Oceanology came into being December 24, 1945, as a 
result of the reorganization of the Laboratory of Oceanology of the Academy 
of Sciences, U.S.S.R. The basic aims of the 17 year old institute are to 
develop the theoretical problems of oceanology, to conduct research on the 
oceans and seas on the supposition that there is a singular occurrence in 
seas and oceans of physical, chemical, biological and geological processes, 
and to conduct special research on the problem of the fluctuation of the 
level of the Caspian Sea. The Institute, then, is capable of conducting 
studies on all facets of oceanology. The following is a list of problems on 
which the Institute recently conducted research: 
- Geography of the Pacific Ocean 
- Geography of Antarctic waters 
Transport-geographical characteristics of Far-Eastern waters 
- General academic problems, such as the distribution and 
behavior of fish in connection with the conditions of their 
existence
