Abstract
Following the launch of the ICAR–Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute’s ambitious stock enhancement programme in Ashtamudi Lake one year ago, the short-neck clam (Paphia malabarica) population is showing early signs of recovery. Monitoring data confirms clear evidence of spatfall and a marginal increase in the overall standing stock. Given the resource’s current spawning and crucial early growth phase, the CMFRI has recommended imposing a three-month fishery closure from December 1 to ensure maximum protection. These positive indicators follow the release of three million hatchery-produced clam seeds from the CMFRI’s Vizhinjam regional centre into the lake, a project led by Principal Scientist M. K. Anil.
