Settlements of Mytilus edulis L. on the Murmansk coast of the Barents Sea
Abstract. The research of mussel Mytilus edulis L. distribution on the Murmansk coast of the Barents Sea has been carried out. Population analysis of mussel settlements included: the assessment of the mollusk abundance, the comparison of the size-weight and age structures. The highest biomass is typical for the settlements at the mouth of the Kola Bay, whereas density – for the settlements of East Murman. The densest concentrations of mussels have been found in the lower intertidal zone. It has been shown that all studied areas are characterized by the predominance of individuals of younger age groups.
