Over the past fifteen years, the frequency of occurrence of the alien mollusk Anadara kagoshimensis (Tokunaga, 1906) increased from 5 to 17–23% in the zoobenthos of the southern coast of the Crimean shelf. At the same time, the proportion of the alien mollusk was not significant and varied from 0.73 to 23.29% of the biomass and from 0.19 to 2.20% of the abundance of the macrozoobenthos in the benthic communities. The mollusk A. kagoshimensis was recorded in three communities: Chamelea gallina, G
