Peculiarities of Carotenoid Pigments' Distribution in Organism of the Freshwater Mollusks
ABSTRACT
Content of β-carotene and xanthophylls in the organism of gastropods (Lymnaea stagnalis, Planorbarius purpura) and bivalves (Unio pictorum, Anodonta cygnea) was studied. The species specificity of these pigments content in organs (tissues) was revealed. Comparative analysis of total carotenoids content in gastropods in norm and under trematode infestation was carried out and peculiarities of their distribution in bivalves depending on sex were established. The regularities of carotenoid pigments distribution in mollusk organisms depending on feeding type were determined.
