BIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON THE BLOWFLY LUCILIA SERICATA (MEIGEN) (DIPTERA: CALLIPHORIDAE)

a. A very highly significant increase in total lipid content was observed by duplicating the larval density from 200 to 400 till reach 800 larvae/30g beef meat, while a very highly significant decrease was observed in case of 200 larvae/30g beef meat as cb. By increasing the larval density to 200 larvae/30g beef meat anon significant increase in total protein was obtained. By duplicating the larval density to 200, to 400, to 800 till reach 1600 larvae/30g beef meat a non significant decrease was obtained. Increasing the larval density from 100 to 400 larvae/30g beef mec. The whole body proteins of 100 larvae/30g beef meat (control group) were electrophoretically fractionated into 17 bands. This band number was not affected by duplicating the larval density to 200 and 400 larvae/30g beef meat. When the larval density in
