| Abstract | Clams of different species such as Katelysia sp . Tapes sp ., Paphia sp . and Meretrix sp .available in the Ashtamudi lake of Kerala were subjected to biochemical analysis and nutritional studies (two species) . Clam muscle contained more amount of sarcoplasmic than myofibrillar protein . Glycogen, reserve increased relative to the age (size) of the animalbut this was less in Paphia sp . Very slight variation in free amino nitrogen, pentose sugaror phosphorous content was observed among species . Meat from Katelysia or Tapes sp. was better in sensory qualities than that from Meretrix sp . Prot ein Efficiency Ratio of clam musclewas higher than the standard casein diet . |
