Abstract

Eco-labelling through sustainable fishing practices results in premium prices and ecological gains. Short-neck clam fisheries of Ashtamudi garnered an eco-label from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), a first in India. Clams function as bio-filters for Ashtamudi. Understanding the value chain and a comparison between pre and post management of the fishery points to the advantages of certification.
