Abstract

Electrophorograms of adductor muscle, mantle and gill of farm grown and wild edible oyster C. madrasensis exhibited distinct differences. Marked protein pattern variations were also evident between the oysters of Ennore Estuary and Muttukadu Backwater near Madras in Tamil Nadu, India. Tissue, environment and locality specific differences have been discussed in the light of number, thickness and staining densities of protein fractions.
