Abstract
The influence of pollutants entering the sea during oil and gas production on the behavioral responses of the Black Sea mussel was investigated in order to assess the possibility of using the automated environmental water monitoring complex developed by the authors for early detection of pollution. In laboratory experiments with concentrations of drill cuttings extracts (25, 50 and 500 mg/l) and diesel fuel (0.01 and 0.021 mg/l), it was found that the Black Sea mussels exhibit high sensitivity to the appearance of these toxicants in the habitat. The proposed complex makes it possible to confidently detect toxicants already in the first minutes of their appearance in the aquatic environment in concentrations characteristic of lowtoxic zones in oil and gas production areas.
