| Abstract |
|
The phenomenon of transabdominal migration of ova is fairly common in all three fresh water turtles,Lissemys punctata punctata (70%),Kachuga tectum tectum (4%) andK. smithi (73%), studied for the present work. Individuals ofLissemys punetata punctata, Kachuga smithi, showed higher frequency of ovular migration in smaller individuals. It is suggested that a better weight balance is possibly achieved by ovular migration in these aquatic reptiles.
