IMPACT OF HEAVY METAL, NICKEL CHLORIDE ON GLYCOGEN CONTENT OF THE FRESHWATER BIVALVE PARREYSIA CYLINDRICA

摘要

The effect of heavy metal, nickel chloride, on the biochemical component like glycogen of gill, foot, mantle, digestive gland and whole body of freshwater bivalve, Parreysia cylindrical was studied. The significant decrease in total glycogen content of gill, foot, mantle, digestive gland and whole body was observed due to pollution stress caused by nickel chloride.
