Nusantara Bioscience 2: 48-53. To determine the relationship of Cuexposure in water to the freshwater mussel exposure experiment is conducted with water containing Cu. Which measured the influenceof Cu and protein content in the body shell. This study used the freshwater mussel species, Anodonta woodiana. Oysters were exposedfor four weeks in the water with Cu concentration of 0.02 ppm, 0.04 ppm, 0.06 ppm and 0.00 ppm control. Cu content and proteincontent in the body shells are checked every week. Cu analysis was done by AAS method and the protein content using Kjeldahlmethod. Cu analysis showed elevated levels of Cu in mussel body after exposure. The pattern of increase in Cu content was not thesame, where the pattern of the largest increases occurred after the fourth week. The statistical test showed no significant effect betweenthe treatment with Cu accumulation in the body shell. Protein analysis showed an increase of protein content after exposure of thesecond week and decreased after the third and fourth weeks. The pattern of changes in protein content varied among the varioustreatments. The statistical test showed no significant effect between treatment with the protein changes in the body shell. Correlation testof the relationship between concentration of Cu in mussel body protein level showed a positive correlation between them with a fairlygood level of relationship (correlation coefficient r = 0.836).Key words: Anodonta woodiana, exposure, Cu, protein.
