Abstract

A sudden abundance of bivalves in large numbers were observed during March-June’09 along Dadar beach in Mumbai in the intertidal zone. About 200-400 men, women, and children from the nearby areas began excavating and hand-picking the bivalves daily from the sand. There is a high demand for these bivalves and they fetched a good price in the local market.
