Founded in 1935. Was reorganized in 1958 in Murmansk Marine Biological Institute. Over the years, the Far Zelenitz formed a unique base of hydro-biological and oceanographic data collected unique collection of flora and fauna of the Arctic seas.
After the relocation of Murmansk Marine Biological Institute in Murmansk, Dalnezelenetskaya Biological Station continues to operate and is scientific and experimental basis not only for the employees of Murmansk Marine Biological Institute, but many scientists, graduate students and other academic institutions and students.
Every year at the biological station carry out scientific work over 100 researchers from different academic institutes and other institutions have practice students from various universities of the country.

In the 1984-1992 years. on the basis of the biological station conducted research biotechnical systems using marine mammals for the tasks of the Navy. Scientists together with experts
Northern Fleet solved problems to deal effectively with terrorism underwater, searching wrecks, rescue people in distress in the ocean water. Use technology to aviation, water and road transport of animals from the Barents, Kara, White, Black and Far Eastern seas to perform different tasks.
Development aimed at finding the model life support and adaptation 10 species of marine mammals from different geographical and climatic zones in the selection of technologies and teaching methods and training pinnipeds in marine aquaria hospital in
captive complex in the waters Dalnezelenetskoy lips and in freshwater lakes. In some periods of work at one time contained more than 15-adapted animals - lions Far East (sea lions), and seals, bottlenose dolphins, beluga whales, gray and harp seals, ringed seals, seals, hooded seals, sea hares.
Depending on the specialization of animals were practiced skills: detection and marking of metallic objects in shallow water, the movement in the free mode behind a speed boat the coach, the failure to scuba breathing apparatus and transport it to shore. As it turned out during the experiments, arctic seal species of sea lions Far superior to the reliability and speed of command.
