Leaves of <i>Lumnitzera</i> are rich in Na and Cl content than <i>Aeluropus</i> and <i>Ceriops</i>. <i>Aeluropus</i> shows efficient K uptake and shows maximum Fe, Mn, P and N₂ content than <i>Ceriops</i> and <i>Lumnitzera</i>. The estuarine soil where the plants are located is sandy in nature with <i>p</i>H 7, while surrounding water is slightly alkaline. Analysis of leaves for organic constituents shows that these halophytes have almost same moisture percentage and carbohydrate content. <i>Ceriops</i> is rich in polyphenol content. Maximum proline is present in leaves of <i>Lumnitzera</i> while <i>Aeluropus</i> leaves show maximum chlorophylls indicating that different halophytes located in same habitat show difference in organic and inorganic constituents.

The mixed fatty acids were rich in saturated acids, palmitic acid being the major component. Among the unsaturated acids, oleic acid was predominant. Polyunsaturated as well as lower fatty acids were absent.

Oxygen consumption showed an exponential relationship with size. A positive linear correlation was obtained with a b value of 0.7356 for the oxygen consumption and a negative linear correlation with a (<i>b</i>-1) value of -0.2644 was observed for the weight specific oxygen consumption or metabolic rate. The <i>b</i> value of <i>P. viridis</i> was compared with that of other bivalves.

It is suggested that a factor present in the eyestalks may regulate the diurnal rhythmic oxygen consumption of <i>U. marionis</i>. Page(s): 98-99 1982-03-01T00:00:00Z
