Three genera and 6 species were identified: Nereis zonata and Platynereis dumerilii ranked first in dominance and frequency index values. Of the biotopes examined, Cystoseira barbata was highest in the number of species and diversity index values, whereas Mytilaster lineatus was the lowest. This study represents the first record of Nereis rava along the coast of the Turkish Black Sea. ER -
