Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;In present biochemical study, bivalve Lamellidens marginalis exposed to acute concentrations of TBTO for 24hr, 48hr, 72hr, 96hr in three seasons and protein, lipid, glycogen contents of hepatopancreas were analyzed during year June2014-May2015. Animals were exposed in acute concentrations in ppm were 2.261, 1.679, 1.272, 0.885 in monsoon; 2.634, 1.921, 1.458, 1.094 in winter and1.618, 1.111, 0.857, 0.398 in summer season, values are 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs respectively for each season. In control group and experimental group of bivalves found biochemical contents high in summer season and under the stress of TBTO biochemical contents decreased significantly up to 96hr in all seasons. Biochemical contents level present in hepatopancreas was found as Glycogen&gt;protein&gt;Lipid.</p>
