and (4) no salinity dependant shape variation of valves. There seem to be the same tendencies to morphological changes in athalassic waters but the thresholds are different. A culture experiment complimented the field observations. We took C. torosa from a site on the southern Baltic Sea coast and kept it for 550 days in the lab covering a salinity range of between 0.5 and 13 psu in several series of microcosms. The specimens hatched and developed in our microcosms and were studied for size variation, noding, sieve pores, and shape variation. The size variation along the salinity gradient shows the same pattern as in the field but are clearly dwarfed specimens. In contrast to the staircase pattern of field data a clear linear correlation of noded valve proportion to salinity is visible in our cultures:
