establish the base line data on metal levels in squids along the west
coast of India. The study is of great relevance in the present context
when utmost importance is being given for producing wholesome
seafoods especially in the export market with a perspective on seafood
safety.The thesis presents a comprehensive account of the base line
data on important heavy metals, viz., Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn Cr
