ABSTRACT
Maximum depth of occurrence and preferred substrata have been determined, and distribution maps prepared for four bivalve species of the S Baltic: Cerastoderma glaucum (Poiret) (30–35 m, sandy bottom), Macoma balthica (L.) (55–80 m, muddy bottom), Mya arenaria L. (30–35 m, sandy bottom) and Mytilus edulis L. (40–50 m, stony bottom); four bivalve communities have been distinguished and mapped.
