Abstract: In the present investigation, the nutritive value showed changes in total protein, glycogen and lipid content from foot, mantel, gill and hepatopancreas of Lamellidens marginalis were studied from Jan 2013 to Dec 2013. In L. marginalis maximum protein content was found in hepatopancreas 304± 0.0065 mg/gm minimum from foot 20± 0.0104. Glycogen content was more during the summer season in all tissues. The maximum glycogen was found during the summer season in hepatopancreas (309.62± 0.5184 mg) and mantel tissue (309.62± 0.0079 mg). The minimum amount of glycogen was found in foot 31.32± 0.0023 in the winter season. Values of lipid observed from foot 14.74 ± 0.6228 and from mantel it is 6.5± 1.1401.
