Abstract
The allometry of a population of Musculista senhausia (Benson) were studied during
the period from February 1987 to June 1988. Monthly samples were taken from Cochin
back\vaters and the allometric relationships between length and height, depth, total weight,
flesh weight and shell weight were determined. The relationships are described by
regression analysis of pairs of variables. Covariance analysis of the data revealed significant
monthly differences in these relationships except in length-height and the factors causing
these fluctuations are discussed.
