Volume : III, Issue : III, April - 2013 EFFECT OF pH ON THE RESPIRATION OF THE FRESHWATER BIVAVLE MOLLUSCS, INDONAIA CAERULEUS (PRASHAD, 1918) FROM BHIMA RIVER AT PANDHARPUR (DIST. SOLAPUR), MAHARASHTRA. WAGHMARE P.K. AND RAO K.R. Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The present study report the effect of pH on a freshwater lamellibranch
molluscs, Indonaia caeruleus from Bhima river, near Pandharpur. The freshwater
molluscs are considered as the most important component in the aquatic ecosystem. It is
also involved in as a linkin the food chain. Bivalve molluscs abundantly distributed in
various in land waters and are considered as a bio-indicators of the ecosystem. Any
change in surrounding environment affects, there internal physiology of bivalve mollusk.
Pandharpur being one of the famous pilgrimage centers attracts millions of devotees for
various yatras. Human intervenes affects the water quality of the Bhima river. In the
present study the attempt has been main to understand the effect of change of on the
respiration of the bivalve molluscs, Indonaia caeruleus. The experiments were
conducted for 15 day and an interval of 5, 15 day the rate of respiration were analysis
from control as experimental groups. The changes in rate of oxygen consumption were
comparing to control and indicated the disturbed physiological adjustment Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : WAGHMARE P.K. AND RAO K.R., (2013).
