In the near-Bosporus area on the 82 m water depth there was new record of the species. Among harpacticoides from this region, there were several eurybathic species, known for the Black Sea , widespread on sandy and silty-sandy soils in the depth range of 10–150 m off the coast of the Caucasus, the Crimea and the coast of Bulgaria and Romania ( Kolesnikova 2003, 2010). An the Bosporus outlet area at the 82 m water depth new species Sarsameira parva (Boeck) and Tachidiella minuta (Sars) were found in the Black Sea ( Kolesnikova & Sergeeva 2011) .

at the In the Bosporus area Harpacticoida were registered from 0–1 to 4–5 cm layers in the column of the bottom sediment. The upper layers ( 0–2 cm) of sediments are the most habitable at all depths up to 300 m ( Fig. 16 View Figure 16 ).
