This paper summarizes our own data on the spatial and temporal distribution of species composition, abundance, biomass and trophic structure of gastropod mollusсs in the shallow-water (0–9 m, mostly up to 5 m in depth) areas along the Black Sea Crimean coast from Karkinit Bay in the northern part of the Crimean Peninsula to Laspi Bay in its South Coast.
