Effects of tidal zonation on size and genetic traits of Mytilus edulis (L.) and Macoma balthica (L.)
Genetic and some ecophysiological traits of mussels collected in the European Arctic, up to their northeastern distribution limit in the Barents Sea, were studied and compared with traits of mussels from the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Baltic. The genetic traits of these populations we-re analysed b...
