title: Elemental Composition of Gonads, Gametes and Larvae in Black and Brown Morphs of the Bivalve Mollusk Mytilus galloprovincialis LAM
abstract: Contents of the bulk and trace elements were determined in male and female gonads, gametes (sperm and oocytes), and larvae (trochophores) of black and brown morphs of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The mollusks were collected in spring 2019 on a mussel-and-oyster farm (Black Sea, Crimea, Sevastopol, Karantinnaya Bay). In male and female gonads of the black and brown morphs, no statist
