Studies on Glycogen content in different tissues of the Channa Orientalis
Abstract
The present study was conducted on Glycogen content in different tissues of the fish Channa orientalis. The organic constituents glycogen, analysed from the tissues muscle, gill, liver and kidney in relation to body weight and sex. The glycogen content was found to be 2.55 to 3.88, 2.08 to 3.21, 4.23 to 8.27 and 0.48 to 1.08 mg/g in male and that of female 2.10 to 3.50, 1.98 to 3.10, 3.55 to 7.88 and 0.38 to 1.06 mg/g in muscle, gill, liver and kidney respectively. The content was higher in liver, less in muscle, lesser in gill and least in kidney of both the sexes. The glycogen content was found to be declined with body weight in all the tissues of both male and female fish.
