Description of the basic characteristics of the zoobenthos assemblages at the seafloor of the Boka Kotorska Bay was created by compiling available data from the scientific and gray literature, and they are a result of research on this area during the last 55 years. All data on the benthic fauna of the Boka Kotorska Bay, up until the middle of the last century, are very rare and can be found in publications resulting from the study of the Adriatic Sea by international scientists. With the establishment of the Institute for Marine Biology in Kotor, more intensive research of marine biodiversity of this particular area has started.
