The sampled material was washed with 1 mm mesh sieve system and 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 (Ind m⁻²), the average wet biomass (g m⁻²) and the number of species was recorded. The communities of the mollusk Chamelea gallina (L., 1758) have been registered.35.1991735.2561144.9069444.93917Black Sea
