These habitats were to a different extent isolated from the open sea by hydrotechnical coast-protective constructions. On the basis of density, weight-dimensional structure and individual biological characteristics of these mollusks in the considered habitats, filtration potential of their settlements under anthropogenic transformation of the coastal zone have been calculated. %8 2010-04-08
