title: VARIABILITY OF CHARACTERISTICS AND OCEANOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS OF ANCHOVY SPRING MIGRATION TO THE AZOV SEA
abstract: Background. In autumn, after feeding in the Azov Sea, anchovy (Azov anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus maeoticus Pusanov &amp; Zeeb, 1926) migrates to the Black Sea for wintering. In late March - early April, the majority of the Azov anchovy usually returns to the Azov Sea, while its lesser part remains in the coastal shallows of the Black Sea. To a large extent, the stock of anchovy in the Azov Sea depends on the oceanographic conditions of migration. Relevance. The study of the oceanographic condi
