Abstract

A recent initiative from the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has rejuvenated black clam (Villorita cyprinoides) stocks in Vembanad Lake and local fishermen are now harvesting 10 tonnes of black clam per day. CMFRI’s initiative of relaying baby clams in various sites in the Vembanad facilitated increasing the clam production which in turn helped fishers harvest around 10 tonnes of clam per day from two areas of the Lake.
