title: Somatic Growth Parameters of Black Sea Bivalvia Mollusks – (Bruguiere, 1789), (Lamark, 1789) and (Gmelin, 1791) in Summer (Azov-Black Sea Basin)
abstract: The results of comparative analysis of morpho-physiological and biochemical indices of somatic growth for three Black Sea bivalve mollusks living in shallow waters near the Kerch Strait – cockle (Bruguiere, 1789), mussel (Lamark, 1789) and mytilaster (Gmelin, 1791) were presented. The length range from 15 to 20 mm were studied. The size-weight dependence was estimated as very high according to the Chaddock scale for , with the correlation coefficient R = 0.97, and high for (R = 0.73) and (R = 0.
