Description 65-67
Biochemical components in Meretrix casta and Villorita cyprinoides, collected from Cochin Backwaters, varied with season and species. An inverse relationship between protein and carbohydrate was observed in both the species, the sum of carbohydrate and protein being a constant. Increase in lipid level was accompanied by an increase in total phosphorus of the 2 clams. Calorific values and lipid content were higher in V. cyprinoides. The carbohydrate minima in the 2 species during January-February were attributed either to spawning or low concentrations of plankters.
