The morphometric characteristics of algae at different levels of hierarchical organization – cells, species, functional complexes of species, taxa (diatom algae, dinoflagellates) and phytoplankton as a whole were analyze. Study based on the results of monitoring carried out near the shores of Sevastopol (the Black Sea) in different periods (2004−2006 and 2009−2014), using the cells shape sphericity index (CSSI). It is shown that for each period there is a certain range of fluctuations of average
