FIELD: ecology.
SUBSTANCE: in bivalved molluscs haemolymph is taken, divided into plasma and hemocytes, determining their phagocytic activity. Additionally, haemolytic activity of plasma and concentration of total protein in it are determined as biomarkers.
EFFECT: method enables to evaluate the state of health of marine bivalved molluscs and their habitat based on biological indication of cellular and humoral factors of haemolymph of molluscs while simplifying and reducing the labour intensity of the method.
