Description The activity pattern of two lysosomal enzymes, lysozyme and acid phosphatase, and histological changes in
digestive gland cells were studied in the green mussel Perna viridis exposed to 25pgl-' of either copper or
mercury by sampling on day 0, 7 and 14. In general both the metals induced, higher enzyme activity than
control mussels. On day 7, the lysozyme activity in mercury exposed mussels was significantly (p
