Abstract
The paper shows the role of the zooplankton in the Romanian
waters of the Black Sea down to a depth of 50 m, for the 
feeding and dynamics of Sprattus sprattus schools, during
April-September. Special mention is made on the Acartia
clausi copepod, which is the best represented species in 
the mass of water, as well as in the fish food. The paper
shows the trophic potential of zone for Sprattus and how
the zooplanktonic trophic base is utilized and how this
is reflected in the fish production of the Romanian 
shore of the Black Sea.
