Benthos from Karkinitsky Gulf (Black Sea) Citation Petrov A., Povchun A.S., Zolotrev P.N. Initial data set (1980-1989) on abundance and biomass of soft-bottom macrozoobenthos of Karkinitsky gulf, Western Crimea, Ukraine.

First investigation of benthic assemblages was made by L.V. Arnoldi (USSR) in 1930s. The pronounced changes in the Gulf bottom assemblages had occurred since 1930s till 1980s due to results of intensive fisheries, mussel’ dredging activity, general pollution of the water area as well as agricultural developments at the adjacent near shore zones. Benthic Samples in Karkinitsky Gulf had been taken during several irregular sampling cruises by R/V within period 1980-1989.
