    Abstract
    Biochemical compositions, condition index (CI) and percentage edibility (PE) of an estuarine clam, Paphia malabarica, were studied from two estuarine regions of Goa during March 2009 to March 2010. Relationships between nutritive components and ambient environmental parameters were also established. Significant (P <0.001) spatio-temporal changes in biochemical composition, CI and PE were noticed. Protein content was higher (15.64-86.79%) round the year, followed by carbohydrate (4.29-72.73%) and lipid (2.25-5.12%) contents. Maximum nutritive values i.e. protein (64.37-86.78%), lipid (2.85-5.21%), calorific values (4.61-6.52Kcal/g), CI (31.75-62.06%) and PE (17.27-21.00%) during premonsoon (February-May) period are suggestive of suitable harvesting period for P. malabarica.
