Abstract
EFFECT OF MERCURIC CHLORIDE AND ARSENIC TRIOXIDE ON BIOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENT IN FRESHWATER BIVALVES, LAMELLIDENS CORIANUS
P. R. Mahajan*
ABSTRACT
The freshwater bivalves, Lamellidens corrianus exposed to LC50/10 concentration 0.212 ppm and 2.310 ppm of
Mercuric chloride and Arsenic trioxide respectively on glycogen content in the tissue of mantle, gills and digestive
glands for 9 days exposure. Compare to control group there was significant change in glycogen contents from
mantle, gills and digestive glands in heavy metal exposed groups. The percent decrease of total glycogen content
was in the order of digestive gland, gills and mantle. The result showed that heavy metal induces significant
depletion in glycogen metabolic profiles in mantle, gills and digestive glands might be due to increased proteolysis
and possible utilization of the products of their degradation for metabolic purpose.
