BIOLOGY OF GASTROPOD MOLLUSCS DISTRIBUTED IN THE FERGANA VALLEY
Keywords:
Gastropoda, mollusks, Fergana Valley, bioindication, hydrobiocenosis, ecotoxicology, population dynamics.Abstract
In this scientific thesis, the biology of crustacean molluscs distributed in the Fergana Valley, their taxonomic composition, distribution dynamics, mechanisms of ecological adaptation and the influence of anthropogenic factors were studied. Monitoring studies have revealed the major gastropod species found in the area's aquatic ecosystems, their sensitivity, biogeographic characteristics, and bioindicatory importance. The data obtained is of practical importance in assessing the quality of aquatic ecosystems and maintaining environmental sustainability.
