Distribution and Composition of Anapa Bay-Bar Sediments

Oceanology Aims and scope

Abstract—The paper describes the composition of bottom and beach sediments of the large accumulation form (the Anapa bay-bar). It has been shown that the sand particles size increases in the direction from the edges of the bar to its center and from a depth of 7 m to the beach. When comparing the data of 2012‒2018, it can be seen that, on the whole, the size and composition of the sand have not changed significantly. The mean share of carbonates in bottom sediments was 11%. Analysis of two mass mollusk species biomass dynamics in 2016– 2018 shows that the increase in carbonates content is not directly related to the increase in the living mollusks biomass. Average annual production of bivalves’ shells is more than 4000 t.
