| Toxicity of cadmium on some metabolic processes can lead to disturbances and imbalance of various physiological activities. The present study reflects the effect of cadmium chloride on glycogen in some vital organs of the fresh water Bivalve mollusks Lammellidens marginalis. The bivalve were treated with different concentrations of cadmium chloride mortality rate was noted up to 96 h. The carbohydrates were estimated to study the stress caused by the cadmium chloride as a toxicant. The results showed a significant decline in the total carbohydrates in different. The significant role of cadmium chloride in some vital organs of the experimental animal is discussed and the results correlated and corroborated with the findings of the earlier researchers.
