Zusammenfassung:Sudden population eruption of Siliqua radiata during monsoon months (June-August 2008) was observed along Versova beach in Mumbai, India. Relationship between shell length (SL) and total weight (TW) was TW = 0.0001137. SL super(2.67922), shell length (SL) and meat weight (MW) was MW = 0.0000237 SL super(2.91756) S. radiata had isometric growth. The average density was estimated as 14 per square meter and the biomass was 153 g.m super(-2). The proportion of meat was 60%. Analysis of meat showed high amount of heavy metals namely copper, cadmium and arsenic.
