Formation of the Filtering Potential of the Mussel and Mytilaster Settlements within Anthropogenically Transformed Coastal Zone of the Black Sea
摘要
Dynamics of quantitative and weight-dimensional characteristics of mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam. and mytilaster Mytilaster lineatus Gmel. in the bottom settlements and periphyton of the concrete traverses in three coastal areas of the Odessa bay (nearby the Lanzheron cape, northwest section of the Black Sea, Ukraine) has been studied. These habitats were to a different extent isolated from the open sea by hydrotechnical coast-protective constructions. On the basis of density, weight-dimensional structure and individual biological characteristics of these mollusks in the considered habitats, filtration potential of their settlements under anthropogenic transformation of the coastal zone have been calculated.
