Abstract

During the course of survey work under the project on Macrozoobenthos of Hugli-Matla Estuary in March, 1989, the present authors collected and examined a number of Anadora granosa (currently known as Tegillarca granosa) from different mangrove sites of Sundarban. Out of 5 clam host specimens examined at Kishori mohan pur, pinnotherid crabs were detected in four clams (80%) whereas all the 15 specimens of Prentice Island, 2 specimens of Kalas and 1 specimen of Curzon creek were found to be infested by this crab. Lalitha Devi [1] reported Pinnotheres alcocki (now known as Arcotheres alcocki) from Anadara granosa (=Tegillarca granosa) at Kakinada bay.
