Biochemical compositions were determined for eggs,
D-shaped larvae, umbo larvae and pediveliger of
the short neck clam Paphia malabarica Chemnitz.
Spawned eggs were composed of 63.2% protein,
25.4% lipid and 11.4% carbohydrate. After 48 h of
embryogenesis, 2.6% of the protein, 11.8% of the
lipid and 3.2% of carbohydrate mass had been lost,
providing 20.5%,75.4% and 4.1% of the total energy
expenditure of 0.2147mJ embryo�1. During 48h
of metamorphosis, lipid was utilized ¢rst, followed
by a heavy consumption of protein; protein, lipid and
carbohydrate lost 23.8%, 50.2% and 32.5% of their
mass respectively. Protein and lipid supplied a comparable
amount of energy for metamorphosis,34.2%
and 55.2%, respectively, whereas, carbohydrate
contributed only10.6% to the 2.733mJ larva�l metamorphic
energy expenditure.
