Abstract

A number of 327 samples collected in 1972 between Constanta and Sulina from depths between the seashore and 30 meters provided data for establishing the qualitative and quantitative distribution of the bivalve Mya arenaria on the Romanian shore of the Black Sea. Comparison of 1972 data with those obtained in previous years showed that the settling of Mya at the Romanian coast was not a completed process. Penetration of the Corliula biocenosis by Mya involved no essential qualitative or quantitative alterations in the aboriginal malacofauna, the settling of this further bivalve bringing about an increase in the biological output of the sites it occupied.
