“…On the Caucasian coast and off the coast of Bulgaria, the length of the A. kagoshimensis shell did not exceed 60 mm (Marinov 1990;Zolotarev and Terentyev 2012), in the Kerch Strait -65 mm (Anistratenko and Haliman 2006). The length of A. kagoshimensis shell was in the range of 5-48.2 mm at Kozacha Bay (Crimea) (Bondarev 2020), the maximum length was 54 mm in Sevastopol Bay (Revkov 2016;Revkov and Shcherban 2017). In the Sea of Azov, the maximum age of mollusks is estimated at 5-6 years with an average length of ~50 mm (Chikhachev et al 1994).…”

“…In the Sea of Azov, the maximum age of mollusks is estimated at 5-6 years with an average length of ~50 mm (Chikhachev et al 1994). I. P. Bondarev (Bondarev 2020) suggested that A. kagoshimensis reaches the maximum size and greatest age under optimal conditions. Thus, the aquatic life conditions at Fedotova spit are closer to the optimal than those at Dzharylgach Spit.…”

“…Mussels, due to their anatomical features, are subject to inhibition in the zone of sand development (Zaika et al 1990), while A. kagoshimensis has a psammic resistance, which allows expanding the boundaries of its distribution to sandy substrates, where Venerida dominates (Bondarev, 2014). Therefore, the distribution of A. kagoshimensis extends over two benthic belts (Bondarev 2020).…”

“…For the situation of the Black Sea, the most favorable conditions for this species are formed in the organically enriched near-mouth areas of the western and eastern Black Sea shelf (Gomoiu 1984). The range of A. kagoshimensis distribution in the Black Sea depths includes the mussel belt (Revkov 2016) and the sandy substrate belt with a dominant Veneroida order of Bivalvia (Bondarev 2020). The two biocenosis belts in the Black Sea corresponding to facies complexes with dominant bivalves of Mytilloida and Veneroida are formed on the basis of their different ability to adapt to sediment conditions (Bondarev 2014).…”

“…Anadara kagoshimensis colonization in the lagoon is inhibited by the unsuitable habitat (combination of very soft muddy substrate and high-density seagrass meadows) (Kolyuchkina et al 2019). The A. kagoshimensis invasion was suggested to promote the growth of natural bivalve communities by utilizing excess organic matter (Bondarev 2020).…”

Features of shape and size variability of blood ark (Anadara kagoshimensis) inhabiting biotopes in the northern part of the Black and Azov Seas were studied. Fourteen morphometric traits were measured for each blood ark shell. The principal component analysis extracted only one principal component (PC) whose eigenvalue is greater than 1.0. The PC 1 explained 84.5 % of the variation in morphometric traits and was interpreted to be an integral indicator of mollusk shell size. The variation of morphometric traits due to the size and asymmetry of the valves was subjected to correction using a Multiple General Linear Model with PC 1 as a continuous predictor and right or left valve as a discrete predictor. A cluster analysis was performed based on the residuals after size correction, as a result of which mollusk individuals were divided into four clusters. For mollusks from the Sea of Azov, a characteristic feature was an increased distance between pallial line and ventral shell margin. In turn, mollusks from the Black Sea exhibited an increase in the width of the posterior adductor scar. The observed morphological differences can be explained by different quantity and quality of food, since the soil composition in the biotopes studied is almost identical.
