Sampling sites were grouped into 7 sampling areas and in each site benthic fauna sampled with "Van Veen Grab". Based on the acquired results it can he said that in the southern coastal areas of the Caspian Sea, family of Neriidae is dominant and in contrast family of chironomidae shows a poor density.
