Comparison of nutrition range in Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena bugensis mussels by biochemical markers

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

Based on biochemical markers, we studied the nutrition ranges of populations of Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena bugensis mussels that inhabit the Volga reach of the Rybinsk reservoir and differ in the long-term population dynamics. Features of the nutrition ranges of mussels are regarded as the probable cause of changes in the number of mollusca.
