- Abstract
The variability of the mesozooplankton stock in the shelf pelagic communities was studied in the late summer and autumn of 2006-2008. The plankton community's structure and distribution were described for the shoreward transect (Gelendzhik city vicinity). The indirect and direct effect of the ctenophores Mnemiopsis leidyi and Beroe ovata on the mesozooplankton community was studied. The long-term changes in the meso- and macroplankton communities of the Black Sea were analyzed for the period of 2001-2008. The effects of the climatic factors, the water mass circulation, and the factors' interplay on the mesozooplankton dynamics were assessed. Despite the wide range of the environmental conditions, the stock biomass of Mnemiopsis leidyi appeared to be quite stable within the studied period.
