CADMIUM CHLORIDE TOXICITY IN GLYCOGEN LEVEL FROM BODY PARTS AND WHOLE BODY OF MARINE EDIBLE GASTROPOD BABYLONIA SPIRATA

nime edible gastropod Babylonia spirata (shell length 40 - 50 mm) from Mirkarwada, Ratnagiri (West st of India), in summer were exposed to Cadmium chloride at 0.1 ppm and 0.5 ppm (1/10" of LC and LC- respectively), for 7 days exposure i.e. 7 days laboratory depuration and 7 days field depuration. Changes glycogen level of both the groups occurred as compared to control group. The glycogen level of 7 days exposed 1/10" LCo group showed increase in operculum, soft bಂತ್ಲಿ' and 1/10" LCso group showed increase in operculum, whole body while 7 days laboratory depurated 1/10" LCo and LCso groups showed increase in perculum, soft body whereas 7 days field depurated 1/ 10" LC and LCso groups showed decrease in the cogen content in body parts and whole body. The observed results are discussed in relation to Cadmium city.
