This study investigated the taxonomic composition, abundance, and biomass values of mesozooplankton in the marine area in front of two important rivers (Sakarya River and Yeşilırmak River) and the largest port located on the Black Sea coast in Türkiye (Samsun Port) in July 2019 and January 2020. The average mesozooplankton abundance and biomass were 4187.3 ind. m-3 and 89.7 mg m-3 in Sakarya River, 3638.5 ind. m-3 and 78.2 mg m-3 in Samsun Port, and 3327.6 ind.m-3 and 77.6 mg m-3 in Yeşilırmak R
