Abstract: Mussels, as food is widely accepted by people around the world as it possesses good nutritive value. Along with the local fishes, a gradual increase in the market demand of the Lamellidens marginalis is observed in the eastern part of India. These mussels are collected from reservoirs by the local people for their daily requirements and usual business. The reservoirs receive the wastewater or sewage from the nearby tanneries and households. Consequently, people are prone to a high risk of cadmium pollution through the consumption of mussels. Thus, the study of the bioaccumulation of cadmium in the organs of mussel is felt be need of the hour.
