Paper deals with data on the contents of oil hydrocarbons in hydrobionts, inhabiting thickets of the sea grass Zostera noltii (Hornemann) in the relatively clean waters of the south-west coast of the Crimea. Average content of oil hydrocarbons in Z. noltii and microphytoperiphyton was very close − respectively 0.56 ± 0.12 and 0.62 ± 0.15 mg/100 mg. There was no significant difference between content of oil hydrocarbons in the plant-eating mollusks (Rissoa membranacea (J. Adams), Bittium reticula
