Mussels are now a relevant object of fishing and aquaculture. The Black Sea mussels has been classified as Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819) only for morphological features, including using multidimensional morphometry. In investigation of the Black Sea mussel population, it is very important to establish the genetic identity of the species and study the genetic structure of individual groups and populations, and especially their parameters such as the level of heterozygosity and polymorphism. Recently, molecular markers have been used to address controversial issues of taxonomy and to establish the genetic structure of populations.enMytilus galloprovincialisBlack SeaNorth-Western regionpolymorphismArticle
