Engelina Zelickman

Engelina (Lina) Abramovna Zelickman (03.06.1926, Moscow, USSR – 18.01.2022, Maale Adumim, Israel) - a hydrobiologist specializing in marine zooplankton, a pioneer of the Barentz sea zooplankton research. The author of more than 100 scientific publications (part of them heavily cited), and the monography Crustacea I: Hyperiidea (Amphipoda) of Israel: A Morphological Atlas (Fauna Palаestina).

Engelina was an academic secretary and acting director of the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1960 -1964).

An activist of the Dissident underground movement in the USSR in the 1970s-1980s.

Biography

Biological research base at Barents Sea).

E. A. Zelickman was born on June 3, 1926 in Moscow, USSR. Father - Abram Markovich Zelickman, an economist. Mother - Hana Samuilovna Zelickman (Shapiro), a Bund activist and an administrative secretary at the USSR Communist Party headquarters. Engelina was named after a famous German economist Ernst Engel.

1941 - 1943 - during the World War II served as a volunteer nurse at a military hospital near the city of Smolensk, at the front line, and at a hospital train that evacuated wounded soldiers

1943 – 1944 – evacuation to the city of Perm. Engelina worked 8 hours a day at an airial bomb plant and concurrently studied at a secondary school

1949 – graduated from Moscow State University, majoring in Invertebrate Zoology

1949 - 1950 – worked as a researcher at the Hoper Nature Reserve in Voronezh region and the Kandalaksha Nature Reserve on the White Sea

1951 – participated in an USSR Academy of Sciences epidemiological expedition to Middle Asia

1952 - 1964 - worked in Dalniye Zelentzy (the Barents Sea), Murmansk Marine Biological Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences

Engelina worked her way from a researcher to an acting director of the Institute. The living  conditions at the polar station were harsh, and the scientists had to survive by hunting, fishing, and gathering wild berries.

1954 – joined the USSR Communist Party

1955 – PhD at the Moscow State University

1964 – Senior Researcher at the Institute of Biological Physics

1966 – 1985 - worked as a Senior Researcher at the plankton laboratory at the Oceanology Institute in Moscow

1964 – 1985 – was an active member of the anti-Soviet dissident underground movement in the USSR

1988 – emigrated to Jerusalem, Israel

1989 – 1998 – worked as a  Senior Researcher at the Faculty of Biology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

2005 - the Israel Arts and Sciences Academy (IASA) published Engelina's monograph Crustacea I: Hyperiidea (Amphipoda) of Israel: A Morphological Atlas (Fauna Palаestina).

1999 -2022 – retired, Maale Adumim, Israel

Main scientific interests

E.A. Zelikman was the leader of 24 biological expeditions to the Northern and Far Eastern seas: the Barents, White, Kara, Japan and Okhotsk seas .

She developed three research directions:

• zooplankton of the Northern Hemisphere,

• parasitology of marine mollusks and crustaceans,

• flocking behavior and communication of crustaceans and jellyfish.

The main scope of E.A.Zelikman scientific interests consisted of the following:

• distribution of the abundance and biomass of pelagic crustaceans that serve as the main food source for marine fish and mammals

• distribution of the abundance and biomass of pelagic crustaceans that serve as the main food source for marine fish and mammals

• horizontal and vertical migrations of crustaceans as a function of physical and chemical parameters of water masses

• seasonal and long-term dynamics of physical and chemical parameters of water masses and analysis of factors influencing these dynamics

• behavior and physiology of euphausian crustaceans reproduction

• acceleration of larval development of euphausian crustaceans as one of the ways of evolutionary divergence of closely related species

• structure of copepods communities, its intrapopulation variability, analysis of causes of mass population outbreaks.
