Abstract

Accumulation of polonium-210 by the Black Sea mussels in Sevastopol marine region and the Karadag Bay (the eastern part of the coast of the Crimea) depends on the mass of their soft tissue, sex, stage of gonad development and the conditions of their habitats. This allows us to consider this radionuclide as one of the most informative natural indicators of an ecological state of the shellfish populations and environment
