*Ship name: NH 112 (Military Navy, Constantza, Romania.
*Expedition: In October 1991 on 4 transects
( east of Sf.Gheorghe, Chituc, Constantza, Mangalia) with 6 stations.
*Parameters:Zoobenthos total biomass (g/m2).
*Instruments and methods: Sampling on depths on bathymetric zones:
30-40m 40-50m, 50-60m, 60-70m with Van Veen grab (1/20m2). Samples
treated on board with 4% formaldehyde. In laboratory each sample
