Abstract

The article presents the results of monitoring the state of stocks and catches of the Black Sea rapa whelk (Rapana Venosa) in Ukraine and in the world as well as substantiates the necessity of food use of that mollusc. The limited quantity of rapa whelk in the ecosystem of the Black Sea remains a top priority, and therefore arises the question about the necessity to popularize consumer properties of mentioned mollusc in Ukraine with the aim of provisioning the customers with biologically valuable products. The method of virtual-population analysis determined that the maximum catch of mollusc in Ukraine amounted to 400 tons in the last three years, which is extremely insufficient for its industrial processing and food use. This is due to the lack of scientifically based technologies of logistics and processing of the mollusc in Ukraine. To solve the problem the study of morphological characteristics and mass-dimensional parameters of the Black Sea rapa whelk to justify the rationality of its processing and transportation was implemented. Provided calculations of ratio of shell mass to its height; measured the total mass of molluscs (including shell), the mass of the shell, a crude mass of soft body, innards mass, white body mass of molluscs.
