There's not much available online. Most of the literature that's available
has never been translated from Russian... yet ;)
Berg's (1949) multi-volume 'Fishes of The USSR' was translated in the 60s,
and copies are available from various libraries. Very little of the
invertebrate literature is available in English - the best recent
publication is a volume published by Buckhuys Publishing - that goes for
$160, and has only poor-quality b&w illustrations.
Could you be more specific as to what you're looking for? Info on the
amphipod fauna? The sponges? Cottids? For what it's worth, I've found it
<very> difficult to obtain fish specimens from that area...
cheers,
Dave
