Cadmium, different body parts glycogen Lamellidens marginalisAbstract
Aquatic environment gets polluted by heavy metals because of their environmental persistence and ability to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. Cadmium is a ubiquitous toxic heavy metal, biologically non-essential element, it is not biodegradable and has a very long biological half-life. The aim of the present study was to assess the glycogen content in different body parts i.e. Mantle, gill, gonad, hepatopancreas, siphon, foot, anterior adductor muscle and posterior adductor muscle of freshwater bivalvemolluscs Lamellidens marginalis exposed to lethal concentrations of cadmium chloride after 96 hrs acute toxicity of exposure. The results clearly showed In LC0 group compared with control group the content significantly increased from gill (67.62% P<0.01) followed by hepatopancreas (51.89% P<0.01) and gonad (21.14% P<0.01) and Decreased significantly from siphon (47.87% P<0.01), Anterior adductor muscle (42.73% P<0.01), posterior adductor muscle (40.33% P<0.01), mantle (4.24% P<0.01) and foot (3.28% P<0.01).In LC50 group compared with control content showed increase significantly from mantle (41.08% P<0.01) and Decreased significantly from foot (63.27% P<0.01), siphon (46.89% P<0.01), gonad (45.45% P<0.01),hepatopancreas (29.70% P<0.01), gill (21.75% P<0.05) anterior adductor muscle (17.65%) and Posterior adductor muscle (7.40% P<0.01) showed non significant. The influence of toxicant cadmium chloride in selected tissues of freshwater bivalve mollusks Lamellidens marginalis was taken into account in evaluating to response against stressor. Hence, we can use glycogen content as biomarker of cadmium stress in bivalve mollusks
