| Abstract | Biochemical components in M. casta and V. cyprinoides , collected from Cochin Blackwaters, 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 Jan-Feb were attributed either to spawning or low concentrations of plankters. |
