✦ Synopsis

The composition of the hydrobiid fauna in a coastal water of the southern Baltic was studied in 1990/91 at three stations with different sediment characteristics (grain size, organic content). Four species were found (Hydrobia venfrosa, H. ulvae, H . neglecta and Pofamopyrgus jenkinsi). H. venfrosa was dominant at all stations. The mean hydrobiid abundances were 4,000 (stn. C), 18,000 (stn. B) and 40,000 (stn. A) ind./m* respectively. Abundance was found to correlate with the organic content of the sediment. The reproduction and growth of H. venirosa was studied. Two reproduction phases were observed, one in summer and the other in late autumn. The autumn reproduction peaks were staggered owing to the different growth rates at the various stations. Possible correlations between the differences in shell size of H. venfrosa at the various stations and both sediment characteristics and abundance are discussed.
