abstract = "The work deals with study of basic characteristics of cardiac activity (heart rate-HR and stress-index-SI) and hemolymph protein parameters in the crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus. The main criteria of the crayfish selection are developed for formation of the animal reference groups available for subsequent toxicological experiments. The action of a model toxicant, hydroquinone (often present in waste water), at a concentration of 1 g/l on parameters of the crayfish cardiac activity at various exposition time, its effect on circadian cardioactivity and on the hemolymph total protein were studied. At its short-term action, hydroquinone produced a temporary increase of HR and stress-index, but had no marked effect on total protein parameters in hemolymph. At long action (for one day), hydroquinone led to a considerable tachycardia, disturbance of the circadian cardioactivity and to a decrease by 40% of the hemolymph total protein. In 50% of cases the toxicant caused death of the animals either in the course of its short-term action or at period of washout from the toxicant. Mechanisms of the toxic action of hydroquinone at various levels of organization are discussed.",
