This article shows that oil spills are one of the most dangerous types of anthropogenic impact on the aquatic environment. They lead to a decrease in the number of the most sensitive species and to an increase in the number of resistant species. A comparative assessment of the results of studying the effect of oil pollution on various types of crustaceans is given. The most sensitive and convenient species for breeding and keeping in laboratory conditions have been identified. To improve the quality of diagnostics of the state of aquatic ecosystems, it is proposed to use the regional species Cypridopsis vidua (O.F. Muller, 1776) as a new laboratory test object.

Key words: crustaceans, oil pollution, aquatic environment, bioassay, toxicity, safe concentration.
