The Black Sea coastal waters near Sevastopol are used intensively for household and industrial purposes and are characterized by high human disturbance. To investigate the level of environmental toxic impact on the organism functional state, this study analyzes changes in hemolymph cell composition, morphology, DNA content, and cell cycle parameters of bivalve mollusk Mytilus galloprovincialis from six experimental sites. The mollusks from the mussel farm on Donuzlav Lake (Crimea) are the contro
