Description 75-81
Observations on the utilization of biochemical constituents
of various tissues viz. liver, muscle and gonads of butterfish Scatophagus argus (L. 1766) with respect
to sex and maturity stages were made from Mandapam water in Palk Bay.
Investigation revealed that moisture content of muscle, liver and gonad in male
and female butterfish was more or less same in all the stages with very little
difference of 1-2% in both sexes. An inverse relationship of moisture content
with carbohydrate and lipid was recorded in muscle, liver and gonad
irrespective of their development stages. Protein level in muscle, liver and
ovary of female and in testis of male decreased during maturation process.
Muscle and liver carbohydrate content in female and male decreased indicating
utilization of carbohydrate during maturation and spawning. In female, higher
caloric value was recorded in stage I for both muscle and liver tissues while
in ovary it was in stage IV whereas in male higher caloric values in muscle,
liver and gonad were registered in stage VII.
