Description :
Studies on the seasonal variation in the lipid content of body tissues of, Barytelphusa cunicularis a locally available
freshwater crab, of dams near Pathardi were conducted for a period of one year .The lipid content in gonad,
hepatopancreas, muscle, body and claw meat was studied during different reproductive stages. Study showed that
during maturation, lipid content increased in the gonads and decreased in hepatopancreas. During preparatory
phase lipid were higher in gonad and hepatopancreas. Remarkable variation in the lipid content of different tissues
has been observed during the study period. Changes in the lipid content in all the tissues were observed to be statistically significant (P<0.05).
