The aim : to characterize sea current influence on the direction of the Azov anchovy overwintering migration into the Black Sea. Material and methods : the assessment was based on long-term Azov anchovy catch statistics from ship and coastal fisheries and data of currents in the Kerch pre-strait area in 2015-2024 based on the Copernicus monitoring project dataset. The hypothesis of a relationship between spatio-temporal changes in sea currents and the direction of the Azov anchovy migration was
