Abstract

The present study includes the behavioral changes of freshwater bivalve mollusks L. marginalis due to acute toxicity of mercury. Different physiological and morphologically changes were observed in experimental animals it includes protective response, foot movements and its secretion, response to external stimuli, mucus secretion of gills and diapedesis. In this concept to improve that any toxicants or any molluscicide were responsible for the alternations in behavioural of animal body. From obtained results, we concluded the toxicity of mercuric chloride was responsible for the behavioral changes in freshwater bivalve mollusks L. marginalis.
