Abstract

Ichthyoplankton of Feodosiya bay in December 2006 was represented by eggs and larvae of winter-spawning fish species belonging to three families. The average abundance of fish eggs and larvae was 62.1 and 5.5 pcs/m3, respectively, and was comparable with the values for the 1950s. The eggs and larvae of sprat Sprattus sprattus phalericus dominated. Most larvae of two winter-spawning species—sprat and smooth sand lance Gymnammodytes cicerellus—had food in their intestines. The species composition consumed by larvae of both species was similar. In comparison with the 1950s and the 1980s, the food composition changed due to significant transformation of planktonic communities in the 1990s.
