Abstract
The first data on the concentrations of a number of trace elements and carbon (organic and carbonate) in the components of the bottom ecosystem of the East Siberian Sea have been obtained. The distribution of a large group of trace elements (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Mo, Ag, Ba, Tl, Pb, Bi, Th and U) in mass taxa of benthic organisms, including Bivalvia Portlandia arctica; Crustacea: Isopoda (Saduria sibirica, Saduria sabini), echinoderms Ophiuroidea Ophiocten sericeum and Holothuroidea Myriotrochus rinkii was studied. The lithological and geochemical characteristics of the enclosing bottom sediments, primarily the sorghum content and the granulometric composition, reflect the influence of abiotic factors. The biotic factor is associated with the geochemical properties of trace elements, the level of organic carbon in organisms, and their type of nutrition. For the first time, a comparative assessment of the levels of organic carbon accumulation in mass taxa and host bottom sediments was made, and an important sedimentological function of deposit feeders organisms was shown.
