The paper gives many years' data on the size of the opportunistic and sanitary-significant microflora of pike perches (Stizostedion) and water in the producer's food fish areas of the Volga river estuary, as well as the results of ecological and microbiological studies of the water from the above areas, which include the determination of the total amount of the bacterial plankton on membrane filters, the number of heterotrophic bacteria, which has provided an assessment of the habitat quality of hydrocoles in accordance with the complex ecological classification of the quality of the land's surface water. The paper analyzes the seasonal abundance and spatial distribution of the most common opportunistic microorganisms, as well as the markers of their pathogenicity.
