Abstract

Two species of bivalves, Cerastoderma glaucum and Abra Ovata, typical inhabitants of brackish waters, were found in Vouliagmeni Lagoon. Seasonal qualitative and quantitative samples were extracted from the different types of the substratum during 1997–1998. Overall, 800 individuals of C. glaucum and 2700 individuals of A. ovata were collected and measured and their population structure studied.
