Biochemical Composition of an Etuarine Oyster (Ostrea tulipa Lamarck), Thais califera Var. coronata (Lamarck) and Senilia senilis (Linnaeus) in a Mangrove Swamp of Eastern Obolo, Niger Delta
The comparative study on the biochemical composition of Ostrea tulipa (Lamarck), Thais califera var. coronata (Lamarck) and Senilia senilis (Linnaeus) were investigated in the mangrove swamp of Eastern Obolo, Niger Delta. Samples were handpicked during low tide in the month of December, 2015, washed and separated the tissues from the shell. The proximate composition revealed that protein content was high in S. senilis (80.32%) and low in T. coronata (76.54%). Carbohydrate and Crude fi... view moreĀ»
