Abstrakt: This paper examines the content of nonspecific immune complexes and the intensity of oxidative processes in tissues of alien bivalve mollusks Dreissena polymorpha, D. bugensis, and Corbicula fluminea inhabiting the Gorky Reservoir. Comparative analysis revealed differences between C. fluminea and the studied Dreissenidae in quantitative parameters of their immune complexes and in malondialdehyde concentrations. Apparently, the identified interspecies differences are associated with distinctive lifestyle features and morphophysiological parameters of the studied bivalves, on one hand, and with their adaptive capabilities determined by the efficiency of their immune and antioxidant systems, on the other hand.
