Abstract

This review examines the state of knowledge of microphytobenthos of the Sea of Azov. The insufficient number of floristic studies and the almost complete lack of quantitative data on populations and communities of microalgae in different marine ecotopes demonstrate the relevance of studying the microphytobenthos.
