ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT METHOD coastal ecosystems

摘要

Method for evaluating environmental well coastal benthic ecosystem, comprising study of morphological and functional characteristics of the mass of bivalve molluscs, characterized in that as a measure of well-being used morphological and functional characteristics of the individual organisms, in particular measured ATP content of the blood cells, the concentration of hemocytes in the hemolymph, the level of histopathology, and on the pollution level is judged by the change of these indicators in comparison with those of bivalves dwell boiling under optimal environmental conditions, while the smaller concentration of ATP and hemocytes and more Histopathology level, the situation is less satisfactory in this ecosystem.
