N.N. Fokina, Z.A. Nefеdova, N.N. Nemova. Biochemical adaptations of marine bivalves to anoxic conditions (review) // Transactions of Karelian Research Centre of Russian Academy of Science. No 3. Experimental biology. 2011. Pp. 121-130

Keywords: biochemical adaptations, Bivalves, anoxia.

The review includes investigation of the literature and our own data on biochemical adaptations of marine bivalves exposed to short-term anoxia. Various mechanisms of metabolic regulation in Bivalvia in response to low oxygen concentrations in the environment were described. It is shown that biochemical adaptations are a key way of marine bivalves survival under anoxic conditions.
