ABSTRACT
In the present investigation, effect ofcerebral ganglia, injection of ganglionic extracts and exposure to rise in temperature on protein content in soft body tissues of Lamellidens corrianus {Lea} collected from Godavari river at Kaigaon near Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar was observed during winter season. As changes in the environmental conditions, it showed an effect on protein contents in the tissues like, mantle, hepatopancreas, gonad and foot. On 12th day, the protein content from mantle showed significant decrease in cerebral ganglia ablated group. The content from hepatopancreas was decreased in ablated and exposure of ablated animals to rise in temperature groups respectively. While the content showed significant increase in extract injected group. The protein content from foot was significantly decreased in ganglionic injected group.
