Size-weight structure and growth of Mytilus edulis L. in littoral zone of the White, Barents and Norwegian Seas
The object of the study is the mussel Mytilus edulis L., which inhabits the littoral of the White, Barents and Norwegian Seas. The work is based on materials collected by the author in 2011-2015. Data on the spatial distribution, size-weight and age structure of the mussel settlements were obtained...
