Abstract
For the first time, the dimensional and weight characteristics of the bivalve mollusk Anadara kagoshimensis (Tokunaga, 1906), an alien species in the Sea of Azov, were examined. The relationships between allometric parameters of the mollusk (dimensions and weight) were approximated by power functions. The maximum coefficient of determination was noted for the power-law correlation between shell width and total weight of Anadara; the minimum one was noted for the correlation between its shell height and total weight. Also, the maximum coefficient of determination was noted for the power-law correlation between shell length and wet weight of Anadara soft tissues; the minimum one was noted for the correlation between its shell width and wet weight of soft tissues. The ratio between dry and wet weight of soft tissues was 0.16. A comparison of different Anadara habitats in the Black Sea, Sea of Azov, and Aegean Sea showed that cage farming of these mollusks in moderately saline waters ensures the most favorable conditions for their maximum growth.
期刊介绍：
Russian Journal of Biological Invasions publishes original scientific papers dealing with biological invasions of alien species in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and covers the following subjects:description of invasion process (theory, modeling, results of observations and experiments): invasion corridors, invasion vectors, invader species adaptations, vulnerability of aboriginal ecosystems;monitoring of invasion process (reports about findings of organisms out of the limits of natural range, propagule pressure assessment, settling dynamics, rates of naturalization);invasion risk assessment; genetic, evolutional, and ecological consequences of biological invasions of alien species; methods, means of hoarding, processing and presentation of applied research data (new developments, modeling, research results, databases) with factual and geoinformation system applications;use of the results of biological invasion research (methods and new basic results) under the study of marine, fresh-water and terrestrial species, populations, communities and ecosystems; control, rational use and eradication of the harmful alien species..
