Abstract: The research of the gastropod mollusks fauna of the littoral biotopes of the Curonian Lagoon of the Baltic Sea was carried out. Gastropods, as has been estimated, are presented by 38 species, 10 of them belong to Prosobranchia and 28 species belong to Pulmonata. The majority of littoral biotopes created in shallow water conditions and those sheltered by aquatic plants are more similar in gastropod species distribution and colonization. The species distribution and quantitative characteristics of the fauna on the open bottom and in the macrophytes are revealed.
