Abstract
Among the renewable molluscan resources in India, the clams of the estuarine and backwater regions provide livelihood for the poor who exploit them for their meat and shells. The clam meat is rich in protein and is also cheap when compared to prawns and fishes. It is relished by the rich and the poor alike in Karnataka. The clam shells, made up of mostly calcium carbonate, are used for industrial purposes. The export of frozen clam meat started recently during the eighties enhanced the rate of exploitation considerably in states like Kerala causing concern. Therefore the study of this resource has gained Importance in recent years.
