title: Екологічні чинники в формуванні кількісних характеристик молюсків тимчасового компоненту мейобентосу північно-західної частини Чорного моря
abstract: Molluscs whose body sizes allow them to be part of the meiobenthos only for a short period of their life cycle belong to the pseudomeiobenthos (a temporary component of the meiofauna). Despite their small size, young molluscs play a significant role in marine ecosystems, contributing to the development and restoration of bottom biocenoses. Pseudomeiobenthos molluscs are an excellent forage object for young and adult forms of benthic and demersal benthic ichthyofauna. Indicators of the density of
