Condition index of Meretrix lyrata (Sowerby 1851) and its relationship with water parameter in Sarawak

Condition Index (CI) was used to estimate the reproductive biology cycle of the hard clam Meretrix lyrata based on dry body weight and shell weight. High CI value was observed due to the increase in the body weight of the hard clam that corresponding to the maturity stage and early spawning. The CI...
