Abstrakt: The North American crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould, 1841) was first recorded in the Sea of Azov in 1948. The species spread rapidly elsewhere over the sea and became one of the common representatives of its benthic fauna. We have pooled the data across all the long-term observations over the Sea of Azov populations of the Harris crab conducted by different researchers from 2020 to 2021. Surveys were carried out with the help of diving equipment in the coastal waters and from on board research vessels in the open part of the sea. The features of the spatial distribution of the Harris crab in the Sea of Azov are presented, and an evaluation of its abundance is given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
