Biology Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Distribution and properties of tissue hemoglobins in bivalves are reviewed. The mollusk gills are given particular attention; data on their functions, relative weight, and surface area as well as the content, properties, and functional importance of gill hemoglobin are reviewed.
