Abstract: The article provides information on the macrozoobenthos of the coastal waters of the Azerbaijani sector of the South Caspian in 2021-2022. During the study, 22 species of macrozoobenthic organisms belonging to 5 systematic groups were found in the coastal waters of the South Caspian. Among macrozoobenthic organisms, the dominant group in terms of the number of species was semi-swimming crustaceans (12 species), and 54.5% of the total species belong to this group. By seasons of the year, the maximum number of species of organisms in the coastal waters of the South Caspian was found in the spring-summer seasons (20-22 species), and the minimum number of species was found in the autumn season (13-16 species). The maximum quantitative development of macrozoobenthic organisms varied between 68.91-85.15 g/m2 in the summer season, and the number varied between 331-425 individuals/m². The maximum development of macrozoobenthic organisms was recorded in the summer season at 90.39-109 g/m2, and the minimum development was recorded in the autumn season at 46.38-65.27 g/m2.
