Abstract
Fresh water mussel, Lumellidens cornhnus was exposed to three sublethal concentra tions (0.4x10'2,0.8x1 (TZ and 1.2x10'2%) of Dimecron, an organophosphate insecticide for 24,48,72 and 96 h. Changes in vitamin C content were observed after each exposure period. Vitamin
C content was observed to decrease in hepatopancreas, gill and foot. Changes in vitamin
C content are discussed in relation to exposure period and concentration of Dimecron
