Abstract

Analysis of covariance revealed length-weight relationship of Katelysia
opima to be significantly different in immature, male and female clams, and correlation
coeflScient to be significant at 0.025 level. The relationship between parameters
length (L), height (H), width (B), whole live weight (W), body wet
weight (Wb), body dry weight <Wd) and shell weight (Ws) of immature, male
and female clams were studied in all permutations, and the relativistic
mechanism determining the various relationships is discussed.
