Abstract

Sabella pavonina Savigny, 1920 (Annelida, Sabellidae) was recorded for the first time in the pre-bosphoric region of the Black Sea in 2010. One specimen of this species was encountered among samples collected at 82 m depth during the cruise 15/1 of RV «Maria S. Merian» (Germany). The specimen found is morphologically similar to the deep-water populations of S. pavonina in the Mediterranean Sea.

Keywords: Polychaeta, Sabella pavonina, Black Sea
