Length-weight relationship in the bevalve Anadara antiquata (Linnaeus, 1758)
Investigations were conducted on the hinge length meat weight relationship in Anadara antiquata (Linnaeus 1758) collected from the mud flats of Zanzibar, between July 1987 and February 1988. A hinge length frequency distribution with a clear mode at 2.4 cm was observed in a total sample of 980 bivalves used in the investigation. The meat weight frequency distribution was positively skewed and had a peak at 2.2 g. Meat weight and hinge length had a correlation coefficient of 0.9852 and were related by the exponential curve equation : W=0.23676 L 3.1591 where W=meat weight, L= hinge length. Meat weight was also found to vary with time.
