Changes in DNA Contents of Mantle, Hepatopancreas, Gonad and Foot Tissues of Freshwater Bivalve, Corbicula regularis From Girna Dam during Different Seasons in Year 2016-17 (Maharashtra) India

Abstract

This paper describes the DNA contents of mantle, hepatopancreas, gonad and foot tissues of Corbicula regularis (25-37 mm in shell length) were collected from Girna dam Malegaon Dist-Nashik in year 2016 2017.The DNA content maximum found in foot during summer and maximum showed in gonad during monsoon and winter season. The freshwater bivalve shows maximum changes in the DNA contents from gonad, as it undergoes different stages like development, maturation and spawning during different seasons.
