Description :
The Aral ecosystem has recently experienced at least two serious shocks. The first shock, 1960 to 1968, caused by the acclimatization activities, the second, 1971 to 1976, was connected with the salinity increase over 12 to 14 g/l. Now the Aral ecosystem apparently experiences a third shock by the salinity increase over 23 to 24 g/l. Intensive investigations must be renewed and complex research programs of the Aral, and the Aral region must be ellaborated.
