USE OF MOLECULAR BIOMARKERS OF OXIDATIVE STRESS FOR THE EVALUATION OF MARINE POLLUTION
Abstract
Biochemical indicators of oxidative stress and content of heavy metals in the digestive gland and gills of the bivalve Crenomytilus grayanus are used to assess marine pollution. For this purpose, the mussels were collected from two areas: in a polluted bay after the completion of activities of recultivation of domestic waste landfills located on the coast and in a relatively clean area. It is shown that in addition to the complex analysis of toxins (heavy metals) the indicators of oxidative stress may serve as sensitive indicators of the physiological state of the organism, which reflect the conditions of its habitat.
