Abstract

Alterations in proteins and ascorbic acid contents in gills, gonads and digestive gland of freshwater bivalve, Parreysia corrugata exposed to Quinalphos and Thiodan were studied. Protein and ascorbic acid content decreased in gills, gonads and digestive glands of P. corrugata exposed to thiodan and quinalphos. Probable causes of decrease in the contents of protein and vitamin C are discussed.
