Taxonomic composition and seasonal dynamics of holoplankton (mesoplankton) have been studied in the seaports of the Caucasus and Taman in 2017-2021. Holoplankton communities are characterized by a small number of dominant species. Organisms with a detritus nutrition strategy, such as rotifers, have developed along with copepodsin the semi – closed Caucasus port with limited water exchange, low water transparency and a higher trophic status. The total abundance of holoplankton was 1.5-2 times hig
