The seasonal dynamics of species composition, abundance and biomass of mollusks in contact zone of the river and simultaneously in the mouth of the river Chernaya and in the corner part of the Sevastopol bay was analyzed for the first time. The distribution of molluscs depending on salinity was researched. As the river flows into the Bay, the number of species, abundance and biomass increased. In the Chernaya river the factor of salinity plays more important role for distribution of Mollusca tha
