Amphipods are one of the main taxa of invertebrates inhabiting the structures of marine farms. On the collectors of oyster and mussel farms in the Black Sea, their density reaches more than 200,000 ind.·m2 of the projected surface of the substrate. Amphipods, being a valuable food source for a number of fish and invertebrate species, as well as a consumer of organic matter, can increase the productivity of the Black Sea coastal waters. This work is aimed at the evaluation of the qualitative and
