Abstract:
The present investigation emphasizes on the variations in the levels of biochemical constituents on exposure to varying water temperatures in fresh water crab, Barytelphusa guerini. The crabs were divided into three experimental groups consisting of six crabs each for stress treatments and the crabs were maintained at the temperature (26 0C) which served as the control.Group-I: This experimental group was exposed to 22 0C for two hours. It referred to as a cold condition. Group-II: This experimental group was exposed to 26 0C for two hours. It referred as a normal condition. Group-III: This experimental group was exposed to 30 0C for two hours. The influence of temperature on tissue (muscle & hepatopancreas) protein, carbohydrate metabolites of crabs were shown to be changed. Higher temperature of 30 °C was found to have pronounce effect on the protein levels. Minor variations in the level of carbohydrates were observed under warm and cold stress. In the present investigation, the altered results obtained were demonstrated that the high and low temperatures influenced biological responses of Barytelphusa guerini and modulated its biochemical parameters (protein, carbohydrates) in order to cope with temperature.
