    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India) Cochin, 1992) Sundarrao, K; Tinkerame, J; Kaluwin, C; Singh, K; Matsuoka, T
    The fatty acid composition of the shellfish lipid and mineral composition of its meat were analysed. Moisture, lipid, protein and ash of shellfish,Geloina papua were determined. Dry shellfish meat had 15.2% lipids of which 58.4% was nonpolar and 41 .6% phospholipids. The protein (51.2%) and ash (7.44%) contents were appreciable. The level of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids was moderately high. The component minerals and heavy metals determined were Na, K, Ca, Fe, Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb, Hg, As and Se. The concentrations of essential minerals (Na, K, Ca, Mg and Fe) were significant.
