Among the commercial mollusks from the Black Sea, the ark clam <i>Anadara kagoshimensis</i>, the oyster <i>Crassostrea gigas</i>, the mussel <i>Mytilus galloprovincialis</i>, the scallop <i>Flexopecten glaber ponticus</i>, and the gastropod <i>Rapana venosa</i> hold the top positions in terms of cultivation and harvesting volumes. Mollusk shells are attracting attention due to their potential use in various biotechnological applications, including nutraceutical production. In the present study,
