Abstract

Biochemical analysis for a year of Crassosirea cucuUata showed that water
content varied from 75.06% to 85.47% and had correlation to change in salinity
of estuarine water. Glycogen content varied from 21.45% to 45.03%. Glycogen
level fell during spawning and later recovered with gametogenesis. Fat content
varied between 4.33% and 11.25%. High fat level was observed during May-Septemb&
r, prior to spawning. After spawning there was marked fall in the fat level,
which subsequently recovered with the commencement of gonad development.
Protein content varied between 52.30% and 70.00%, with the higher values observed
during the period of spawning
