Rapa whelk (Rapana venosa, Valenciennes, 1846) has a great influence on the operation of such an isolated marine ecosystem, as the Black Sea. However, many aspects of its vital functioning, including the genetic and biochemical mechanisms of Rapana high adaptive capacity, practically unknown. Therefore, the aim of this work was to find among Rapana genotypes stable combinations (pairings, association) of different alleles of a gene-enzyme systems, the totality of which can be regarded as adaptiv
