Biochemical and
calorific contents of different species of seagrasses occurring in Palk Bay
were determined: Enhalus acoroides
(68.82 K cal g-1), Halophila
beccarii (29.16 K cal g-1), Halophila
ovalis (24.08 K cal g-1), Cymodocea
rotundata (60.62 K cal g-1), Cymodocea
serrulata (43.40 K cal g-1), Halodule
uninervis (40.15 K cal g-1), Halodule
pinifolia (28.39 K cal g-1) and Syringodium isoetifolium (38.38 K cal g-1) of leaves and
in rhizome Enhalus acoroides (77.84 K
cal
g-1), Halophila beccarii
(38.84 K cal g-1), Halophila
ovalis (37.03 K cal g-1), Cymodocea
rotundata (63.68 K cal g-1), Cymodocea
serrulata (37.33 K cal g-1), Halodule
uninervis (28.39 K cal g-1), Halodule
pinifolia (28.23 K cal g-1) and Syringodium isoetifolium (30.48 K cal g-1). Calorific
contents of seagrasses were equivalent to Bengal
gram, Peas, Potato and Sweet potatoes. 
Present study suggests that the seagrasses could be considered as feed/food.
