title: Somatic Growth Parameters of Black Sea Bivalvia Mollusks—Cerasoderma glaucum (Bruguiere, 1789), Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamark, 1789), and Mytilaster lineatus (Gmelin, 1791) in Summer (Azov–Black Sea Basin)
abstract: The results of a comparative analysis of morphophysiological and biochemical indices of somatic growth for three Black Sea bivalve mollusks living in shallow waters near the Kerch Strait—cockle Cerastoderma glaucum (Bruguiere, 1789), mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamark, 1789), and Mytilaster lineatus (Gmelin, 1791)—are presented. Lengths from 15 to 20 mm are studied. The size–weight dependence is estimated as very high according to the Chaddock scale for C. glaucum, with the correlation coe
