Description: Understanding the fat content in these commercially important shellfish is essential for ensuring food safety, nutritional value, and sustainable harvesting practices. This project aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the fat content in razor clams from Gharo Creek, employing established laboratory techniques to quantify lipid levels. The findings will contribute to enhancing food security, supporting sustainable fisheries management, and promoting human health in the region.
Socio-Economic Benefits: Conducting fat analysis in commercially important razor clams from Gharo Creek, Indus River, generates socio-economic benefits spanning food safety, nutrition, fisheries management, market competitiveness, environmental conservation, community empowerment, and policy informatics. These benefits contribute to the sustainable development and resilience of coastal communities dependent on razor clam resources.
