Summary
Blood cockle Anadara granosa ( known as Tegillarca granosa) is a commercial bivalve inhabiting sandy-mud substrate in intertidal and subtidal ecosytems. These ecosystems are continuously exposed to low and high tides, and connect terestrial and marine ecosystems. This environment presents a challenge to organisms as they must cope with fluctuating water condition and antropogenic impact. Changing environmental conditions, such as temperature, salinity, mercury concentration, parasite, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, stimulates stress on bivalve and other organism (Farcy et al, 2009; Kravets et al, 2012).
