Abstract
During the course of a survey conducted in the first week of June by ferry boat in the Alambarai creek (Chinna Cuddalore area, Tamil Nadu) to study the availability of fish seed suitable for cage culture operations, clam beds (Meretrix casta) and oyster beds (Crassostrea madrasensis and Saccostrea cucullata) were observed in the creek. There is a thriving sustenance fishery for oysters in the creek. Oyster picking is a trade practiced year-round in the area by a group of about 15 people, predominantly women of Kotte Kadu village, who do not belong to the fishermen community.
