| Abstract: | Iron content of the mantle, ctenidia, adductor muscle, digestive gland and foot of A. rhombea, collected from 2 localities with different sedimentary iron concentrations was estimated. Iron content of tissues was found to be an indicator of the environmental iron concentration. During starvation iron content in all the body organs decreased, and steep decline was noted in digestive gland and ctenidia, the chief organs associated with digestion and feeding which normally show higher concentration of iron. |
