## Abstract Various tissues of the marine bivalve__Mytilus galloprovincialis__were analysed histochemically for oxidases capable of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) using the ceriumβDAB technique. Incubations were performed on unfixed cryostat sections using polyvinyl alcohol and semipermea
Many marine bivalve molluscs produce byssal threads for attachment to solid substrata. Small (less than 10 mm) consecutive sections of the byssal threads of Mytilus edulis, M. californianus, Geukensia demissa, Atrina vexillum, and A. rigida were analyzed by amino acid analysis to determine if chemic
