Abstract
Mariculture of bivalves assumes greater importance in meeting the increasing protein demands of the human population. Bivalve groups such as oyster, mussel and clams are the most important cultivable organisms all over the world. Of these, P.viridis and P.indica forms the most dominant cultivable species. The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has developed eco-friendly techniques for mussel culture. Recently, CMFRI has taken up efforts to popularize mussel culture in all coastal districts of Kerala.
