Abstract: The second part of the article is presented, which highlights the processes of formation and further development of the Dnipropetrovsk Scientific Hydrobiological School of technogenically transformed freshwater ecosystems. In the first part of the article, the first and second stages of the school’s activity, which fell upon the 30s and 60s of the last century, are disclosed. The second part of the article is dedicated to the third stage of the scientific school’s activity, covering the period 1960–1975 characterized by the formation of a number of radically new fundamental and applied fields of hydrobiological research still relevant today. Professor Georgy Borisovych Melnikov continued to be the leader of the team in this period. It was then that innovative areas of hydrobiology were founded or significantly deepened: space hydrobiology (G.B.  Melnikov) – the first space hydrobiology laboratory in Ukraine at the Dnipropetrovsk State University (DSU) (1961); freshwater radioecology (I.P.  Lubyanow) – the first publication in Ukraine on freshwater radioecology (1962); technical hydrobiology (I.P. Lubyanow) – development of methods of combating biofouling (dreissena, etc.) and biocorrosion in the newly created Dnipro reservoir; water toxicology (S.P. Fediy); expansion of the forage base of fish by acclimatization of the estuarine-Caspian fauna (P.O. Zhuravel) and others. These works carried out in the new stage of the school’s development continued research in the hydrobiology of technogenically transformed freshwater ecosystems, started under the leadership of prof. D.O. Svirenko. Detailed information is given about the activities of the Space Hydrobiology Laboratory of DSU, the Research Institute of Hydrobiology of DSU; laboratories of hydrobiology, ichthyology and radiobiology at the Research Institute of Biology of DSU; about their fruitful cooperation with enterprises of the Dnipropetrovsk region, in particular in achieving uninterrupted industrial water supply by protecting water supply systems from penetration settlement and mass development of fauna of biocenoses.
