✦ Synopsis

Effects of salinity conditions, ranging from fresh water to 80 0/ oa , on the survival of a marine molluscan fouling species, Mytilopsis sallei RECLUZ, have been studied in the laboratory . The results show that the species exhibits a wide tolerance to different salinity conditions including freshwater, showing normal activity up to 50 0 / 00 beyond which the higher salt concentration had a lethal effect . The effect of various salinity conditions on spawning has also been examined . The significance of the wide range tolerance to salinity on the fouling in seawater cooling systems is discussed .
