Title Effect of starvation and temperature on gonad development of baby clam, Marcia opima (Gmelin)

Subject Clam
 
Description For studying the influence of feed and temperature on gonad growth and maturity of the baby clam
Marcia opima, experiments were conducted for 45 days at temperatures of 23°C and 28°C. The progress
of gonadal recovery was followed by periodic determination of gonadosomatic index, condition index,
digestive gland index and oocyte diameter. There was significant difference in the gonadosomatic index
between fed and unfed clams at 23°C and 28°C. No significant difference in the gonadosomatic index
was noted in the fed treatments at 23°C and 28°C, but the time of conditioning had significant influence
on the gonadosomatic index. A significant relationship was found between the gonadosomatic index
and condition index of the clams in all the treatments
