- Abstract
The article presents a study which examined the decline in phagocytic capacity of Mytilus edulis hemocyte during spawning. Topics discussed include the modulation of physiological systems in spawning bivalves, specimen collection for the current study, cell viability and hemocyte phagocytosis. Gonad integrity before and during the spawning period and the decrease in immune response are observed.
