21 sites at the Romanian Black Sea coast (5 to 20m in depth) from Sulina to Vama Veche (data set limits: 45.10 N - 29.55 E to 43.46 N - 28.40 E)

Zoobenthos taxonomy-related counts; Zoobenthos taxonomy-related wet weight biomass per unit area of the bed; Zoobenthos generic abundance

Discrete water samplers

The aim was to establish the actual state of the zoobenthic communities under anthropogenic influence. The data were collected by the R/V Steaua de Mare of NIMRD from Sulina to Vama Veche in spring and autumn 2004 at the depths of 5, 10, 20m. 21 samples were processed.
