Abstract

Biochemical and biometric features of eggs of the Washington clam, Saxidomus purpuratus, are reported in this study. In addition, a polyclonal antibody against the purified clam egg was employed to quantitative assessment of eggs of the clams collected from Geoje Island, Korea in May 2002. Mean egg diameter was 70.81 $\pm$ 7.52 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$(histological preparation) or 88.56 $\pm$ 11.31 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$(purified oocytes), and individual egg weighed 95 ng in dry weigt.
