Background. In autumn, after feeding in the Azov Sea, anchovy (Azov anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus maeoticus Pusanov &amp; Zeeb, 1926) migrates to the Black Sea for wintering. In late March - early April, the majority of the Azov anchovy usually returns to the Azov Sea, while its lesser part remains in the coastal shallows of the Black Sea.
