Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids were estimated in three species gastropod, Telescopium telescopium, Cerithidea cingulata and C. obtusa at Tekkali creek. Carbohydrates were 0.80 % in T. telescopium, 0.58 % in C. cingulata and 0.84 % in C. obtusa. The proteins were 21.01%, 13.08 % and 20.38% in T. telescopium, C. cingulate and C. obtusa respectively. Lipids were 18.9 %, 16.57 % and 19.5% in the respective three species. Albumin proteins were assayed with water and with KCl at different molarity i.e., 0.1M, 0.2M, 0.3M, 0.4M and 0.5 M and the values showed an increasing trend with increasing salt concentration, ranging from 0.01 % to 2.07 %.
