Abstract

We examined the seasonal patterns of biochemical composition in bivalve, Lamellidens marginalis from Godavari River, Paithan. In the present study, variations in organic constituents were observed in different body parts of the species. In all body parts of the bivalve the protein was found maximum during monsoon season (June) and was found minimum during summer season (May) of dry tissue weight. The bivalve mollusc shows maximum variation of biochemical constituents as it undergoes different stages like development, maturation and spawning during different seasons and can be affected by environmental factors, such as fluctuations in the environmental conditions, or by internal factors, such as metabolic and physiological activities. It might be the spawning cycle and food supply are the main factors responsible for this variation. It is well known that seasonal variations in nutritional contents of bivalves are closely linked to the reproductive cycle and climate changes and are affected by the availability and composition of the natural diet. As changes in the environmental conditions, it showed an effect on protein contents in the tissues like, mantle, hepatopancreas, gonad, gill and foot. Protein content maximum found in gonads throughout all the three seasons, whereas mantle shows minimum values of protein. There are great fluctuations in the values of protein during different seasons.
