title: Macrozoobenthos of the Zernov's Phyllophora Field, Northwestern Black Sea: species richness, quantitative representation and long-term variations
abstract: The Zernov's Phyllophora Field (ZPF) is a water area in the northwestern Black Sea (NWBS) that occupied about 11 000 km 2 in the early 20 th century. Since 2008, a water area of 4025 km 2 has been given the status of a botanical sanctuary of national importance Zernov's Phyllophora Field. The goal of the present study is to assess the species richness and quantitative development of macrozoobenthos of the ZPF and their long-term variations under the current conditions of de-eutrophication of the
