Abstract
In July 2019, three polychaetae specimens of the genus Ctenodrilus were found in oyster cages on silted oyster shells. The cages from a mussel-and-oyster farm located at the outer roadstead of Sevastopol Bay were suspended at a depth of 6–8 m. The bottom soil under the mussel-and-oyster farm is silted sand, and the depth is of 16 m. During the sampling, water temperature was of +23 °C, and the salinity was of 17.7 ‰. Thus, according to morphological characteristics, polychaetae we found should be classified as Ctenodrilus serratus (Schmidt, 1857). Photographs of alive and fixed polychaetae, chaetae patterns, and a schematic representation of their number by segments are presented. At the beginning of the XX century, a single specimen of this species was found in the Black Sea.
