(…) The coastal stretches of Gujarat have several industries, which are based on salt as raw material. The saltpan activity not only provides the livelihood for a large number of unskilled workers but also provides the raw material for several such chemical industries.
The present study was conducted to know the low pH is affected by Marine Molluscan diversity from Rangbai coast. We have tried to carefully observe seasonal variation. Mainly during study observed that in December month the total number of Molluscan species is 50 while January month the number of Molluscan species is direct 28.from August to December pH was not shown any significant variation, while in January month pH was 4.3.average sea water pH is 7 to 8 neither acidic nor basic. For molluscan development, acidic sea water is not suitable for molluscan growth and development. (…)
