Abstract

Studies on seasonal changes of the gonad
of oysters are useful in spat fall prediction
and also in selecting the broodstock for
hatchery production of the seed. The gonadal
condition of the oysters Crassostrea
madrasensis in different seasons was reported
by Rao (19S6), Durve (196S), Stephan
(1980), Rajapandian and Rajan (1983) and
Narasimham (1987). Nair and Mahadevan
(1983) elucidated the various aspects in oyster
culture carried out in the Tuticorin bay.
The present study gives the results on the
seasonal changes in the gonad and meat
condition of oysters collected from the
Korampallam creek, near Tuticorin.
