Rapana venosa is widely spread in the world's oceans and has adapted well to the conditions of different pollution. The study of adaptation options of Rapana was the purpose of this work. We studied the antioxidant system in ctenidium, hepatopancreas and Nephridia gastropod under stress caused by copper ions. The experimental animals were kept for 3, 24 and 72 hours in aquariums with sea water with addition of CuSO4 at 5 and 10 maximum permissible concentrations (MPC). We determined the total an
