North Caspian molluscs are characterized by high frequency of occurrence and wide variability of quantitative indicators. In studies conducted in the period from 2013 to 2017 in the water area of the western part of the Northern Caspian the frequency of molluscs was 64%. The population was in the range of 10-8290 species/m2; biomass – 0.003-1162.066 g/m2. Molluscs lived at depths of 2.5-29.0 m, with an absolute oxygen content of 1.29-8.52 ml/l, and a relative oxygen content of 21-134%. Most abun
