Two sublethal doses of oil effluent were administered to the freshwater bivalve Lamellidens marginalis in order to examine the filtration rate, oxygen absorption, and glycogen level of various tissues for health evaluation in oil effluent intoxicated aquatic environments. Monitoring aquatic invertebrates' energetic reserves is rather infrequent, despite the fact that they are increasingly used in the food production industry, conservation aquaculture, and biomonitoring. The oxygen intake of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group by (10.433.476 ml oxygen/hr) in 1/4th exposures and (11.373.790 ml oxygen/hr) in 1/10th exposures. This difference peaked at 48 hours and then began to drop. The amounts of oil effluent Exposure rose with time, reaching a high in concentrations at (205 68.344 ml oxygen/hr) for 72 hours in 1/4th and (172 57.346 ml oxygen/hr) for 42 hours in 1/10th, then progressively declining. Oil effluent uptake in freshwater mussel tissues peaked at 84 hours when compared to the control of all hours in the 1/4th foot tissues (512170.675 g g-1); 1/10th foot tissues (498166.014 g g-1); 1/4th gill tissues (516172.013 g g-1); 1/4th digestive gland tissues (540180.012 g g-1); and 1/4th digestive gland tissues (522174 According to the results of the current study, L. marginalis can be used as biomarkers for determining an animal's health, providing new research opportunities for examining freshwater mussel energetic reserves and health condition.
