Abstract
New data on the present-day state of planktonic and benthic communities in the Sea of Azov were obtained during an expedition organized in 1997 and 19 98. The analysis of their species composition and quantitative indices of b iomass and abundance revealed two obvious tendencies in the structural dyna mics of biocenoses. The first is directly produced by disturbances of the e nvironment under anthropogenic impact, and the second reflects the effect o f global natural factors.
