Abstract:
Macrofauna was sampled during 32 cruise of RV Professor Vodyanitsky in 1990 on Sudak shelf (the Black Sea off the coast of south-eastern Crimea) with "OCEAN" Grab 0.25 m-2, at depths from 50 to 110 m. The material was collected on two transects (the eastern and western transect) located perpendicular to the coastline. Stations on the sections were located on isobaths with a gradient of 10 m at depths from 50 to 110 m. The sampled material was washed mesh 1 mm sieve system a preserved in 75% alcohol, which is known to preserve morphological structures without distortion. We avoided prior fixation in formalin in order to not damage calcareous taxa. For each species, the average abundance was N, ind. m-2, the average wet biomass was B, g m-2, the number of species. The communities of the mollusk Modiolula phaseolina Philippi, 1844, and polychaetes Terebellides stroemii Sars, 1835 have been registered. Investigation of the bottom sediments, located at depths below the 90 m isobath, i.e. at 100, 110 m, macrobenthos was not detected.
