Hydrobiological researches of the Tyuleniy Island’s water area of the Caspian Sea are conducted. It is shown that the studied water area represents rather stable ecosystem with well-developed planktonic and benthic population that pro- motes preservation of commercial species of the Caspian fishes. The water area around the Tyuleniy Island is a good model for studying and forecasting changes taking place in the Caspian Sea in modern conditions.
