The analysis of the seasonal and interannual variability of the luminescence intensity of the plankton community in the coastal waters of the south-western Crimea and its interrelation with the age distribution of horse mackerel in spring-summer catches are investigated. In 2012, 2013 and 2014, the intensity of glow of organisms in winter was 2-10 times lower than the mean value (193 pW ∙ cm-2 ∙ dm-3), which indicates a worsening of the state of the plankton community of pelagic in these years,
