Mangrove clam Geloina proxima is one of the dominant indigenous bivalves of Ratnagiri Coast. The study of Length-weight relationship of clam G. proxima was carried out during July 2017 to June 2018 to understand growth rate and its pattern. Average total length for males and females recorded was 65.40 mm and 65.25 mm, respectively, which is also supported by the calculation of the weight studies. It is interesting to note that in G. proxima, irrespective of the sex, there is a coordination between the length and weight relationship. In the present study significant difference was observed between the length-weight relationship to weight relationship of male and females of G. proxima. Analysis of results for length-weight relationship in G. proxima indicates negative allometric growth pattern. It is observed that weight of G. proxima bears a curvilinear relationship with the length that becomes linear on logarithmic transformation. The value of correlation coefficient in males was r = 0.97 while the same in females were r =0.98, which were found to be statistically highly significant. The coefficient of determination r2 is an indication of goodness of fit of regression to the observed data. The closer it is to 1, the better is the fit.

Differential evolution (DE) is a powerful global optimization algorithm which has been studied intensively by many researchers in the recent years. A number of variants have been established for the algorithm that makes DE more applicable. However, most of the variants are suffering from the problems of convergence speed and local optima. A novel tournament based parent selection variant of DE algorithm is proposed in this research. The proposed variant enhances searching capability and improves convergence speed of DE algorithm. This paper also presents a novel statistical comparison of existing DE mutation variants which categorizes these variants in terms of their overall performance. Experimental results show that the proposed DE variant has significance performance over other DE mutation variants.
