Estimation of glycogen level in ovary, liver and muscles of the estuarine gangetic anchovy Setipinna phasa (Hamilton) during the breeding season.
Glycogen level was estimated in ovary, liver and muscle tissues of a commercially important estuarine gangetic anchovy female fish Setipinna phasa (Hamilton) during the breeding season. Glycogen level in ovary, liver and muscle tissues can be divided into (i) pre-spawning (November), (ii) spawning (December), (iii) late spawning (January-February) and (iv) post-spawning (March-April) phases. The ovary remains practically inactive during the months of May to October. The level of ovarian glycogen increase in comparison to liver and muscle tissues durirg pre-spawning (November) and the spawning phases (December). But the level of glycogen in the ovarian tissues decreases during post-spawning phase in comparison to liver and muscle tissues. The liver glycogen level increases during late and post-spawning phases. So it is evident that in tune with the gonadal cycle of the fish there is apparent variation in the level of glycogen in different tissues.
