[Metabolic processes in the tissues of mussels during adaptation to hydrocarbon intoxication and changes in the environmental conditions of their habitat].

Exchange of main classes of organic matter in hepatopancreas, gonads, gills of Black Sea rocky Mytilus in adaptative period to environmental changes and intoxication by diesel oil at concentration 15 mg/l was investigated. Hepatopancreas possesses the greatest sensitivity to environmental changes, gonads--the least. Gills have the greatest sensitivity to diesel oil influence. In spite of the fact that these changes were revealed in the exchange of practically all studies combinations, the most characteristic indices at oil hydrocarbons influence is the exchange of the nucleic acids, particularly the ration RNA:DNA.
