Two types offish migrations in the Mediterranean, Black and Azov Seas (Zenkevitch). prawns transplanted from the Sea of Azov into the Caspian are also larger in size. It is very curious that a reverse relationship is apparent in the case of bull- heads (Gobiidae)—the majority of them are much smaller in the Caspian Sea. Thus, for example, in the Sea of Azov the largest size of Gobius melanostomus is 23-5 cm, and in the Caspian Sea {affinis form) only 19-6 cm; Proterorhinus marmoratus in the Sea of Azov and Pr. m. nasalis in the Caspian Sea are respectively 11-5 and 7-0 cm in length, etc. Svetovidov explains this difference.
