Abstract 
The paper shows the major features of zooplankton in various sectors 
of the Romanian coast of the Black Sea, studied over the 1960-1966 
period. The results of researches led to the determination of seasonal
and pluri-annual dynamics for the major zooplankton species, depending
upon changes in environment (winds, marine current salinity level, 
water temperature and phytoplankton). A specific zooplankton bioceno-
sis was determined - the zone comprised between 5 to 30 marine miles
far from shore, with a depth between 20 and 50 m.
