The present investigation was aimed to know the influence of short day (16 D : 8hL) and long day (16hl : 8hD) photoperiods on ovotesticular proteins in the stylommatophoran hermaphrodite garden slug, Semperula maculate. It has been observed that the ovotesticular proteins were increased during short day photoperiod when there was active gametogenesis and they were lowered after long day ohotoperiod when there was a suppression in the gametogenesis. The study revealed the relationship between photoperiod and variations in the protein concentrations during gametogenesis.
