“…The study of modiications in the composition of lipids and their faty acids in gills and digestive glands of White Sea mussels, M. edulis, induced by their acclimation to laboratory conditions where they were fed with artiicial feed ("Coraliquid", Sera) revealed organ-speciic paterns in the assimilation and modiication of lipids, primarily concerning their faty acid proile [69]. It was shown that change of the food source caused alterations in the lipid and faty acid composition, mainly in the digestive gland.…”

“…Elevated content of high-energy lipids (triacylglycerols) enriched in saturated faty acids (namely, myristic 14:0 acid), as well as vaccenic 18:1n-7 acid in the feed, promoted the storage of these lipids in mussel gills and digestive gland. At the same time, the fact that phospholipids in the feed lacked essential faty acids, EPA and DHA, which are known to be derived from phytoplankton, told considerably on the faty acid proile of triacylglycerols in the mussels [69].…”

Studying biochemical indicators in response to various environmental factors allows revealing the metabolic adaptive strategy of the organism's tolerance and survival under a variety of environmental impacts. This review analyses both the authors' own data and the available literature on the problem of biochemical adaptations of the lipid composition in marine bivalves, particularly blue mussels, Mytilus edulis L., to various environmental impacts. Modiications in the composition of lipids and their faty acids in blue mussels caused by short-term (under laboratory conditions) and chronic (ield monitoring) exposure to natural and human factors indicate that homeostasis is maintained in cell membranes and the organism's energy requirements and facilitate the adaptation and tolerance of the mussels to environmental disturbances. The lipid and faty acid composition indices in White Sea intertidal mussels which relect their chronic exposure to a wide variety of environmental factors are discussed and compared to data on changes in the lipid composition of blue mussels exposed to some environmental factors (salinity, anoxia, metals) in aquarium experiments. The lipid proile plays an important role in the adaptation of blue mussels to new conditions in the habitat, and it can be used as a biochemical marker for indicating the organism's physiological state.
