Resumo

In October 2015, the strength of attachment to the substrate was studied in the bivalve Modiolus kurilensis in druses on silty sand at a depth of 6–11 m. The byssal attachment strength of M. kurilensis was found to increase substantially during ontogeny. It was dependent on the spatial position of mussels within the druse and differed by a factor of 2–2.5 for individuals of the same size.
