Studies of the structural characteristics of coastal zooplankton in the northeastern part of the Black Sea were carried out for eight months (January-August) in 2021 and 2022. All discovered species and taxa of zooplankton are typical for the current state of the Black Sea. Seasonal dynamics of changes in taxonomic composition and indicators of specific consumption of phytoplankton by zooplankton did not show significant interannual differences. The abundance and biomass of zooplankton, as well as the role of taxonomic groups and species in the total abundance and biomass of zooplankton had significant interannual differences.
