Summary/Abstract: The influence of chemical enterprises’ sewage on the anurans populations led to the decrease of its number, the change of age structure and reduce of the age row. There was a change of organs’ morpho-physiological indexes under the influence of sewage. It is expressed, in one cases, in increase of the relative weight due to intensification of activity, but in other cases in the decrease of organs’ relative weight, that testifies to absence of adaptation to pollutants. These changes are expressed also in the decline of reproductive potential of the cenopopulations due to decrease of relative weight of the animals’ gonads.
