Seasonal Changes In Lipid Content, In The Adductor Muscles Of Cerebralectomied Freshwater Bivalve Mussel Lamellidens Corrianus.

Lipids play a nutritional physiological role by providing an efficient source of energy and essential fatty acids. As the freshwater bivalves are the filter feeder the role of adductor muscles are very efficient. A seasonal change in endogenous and exogenous factors in freshwater bivalves requires more energy and is control by various ganglion such as cerebral, visceral and pedal, hence the present investigation was undertaken to study the impact of cerebral ganglia on lipid content in adductor muscles of freshwater mussel Lamellidens Corrianus.
