Research results of zooplankton in the north-eastern Black Sea

In this article, the distribution and quantitative characteristics of the zooplankton development in the north-eastern Black Sea have been considered based on the data, collected in the course of hydrobiological surveys in spring, summer and autumn of 2016–2017. It has been found out that a low level of development is typical for the food plankton in spring and summer. Maximum values of food biomass, determined by the outbreak of seasonal species of the cladocera Penilia avirostris, were observed in autumn. At that time, the values of food biomass exceeded 100 mg/m3 in the major part of the coastal waters of the north-eastern sea, while in some areas the biomass exceeded even 200 mg/m3.
