Abstract
Oysters, mussels and other shell-fish are highly nutritious foods, which, apart from their usual proximate principles, contain fairly high amounts of minerals like iodine, copper, iron, etc., and vitamins. In the shallow rocky areas of Malabar Coast there are numerous green mussel (Mytilus edulis) beds from which large quantities of mussels are taken out almost throughout the year, which form an important item of food for people of low incomes. As the mussels grow in shallow areas subject to the influence of land drainage, sewage and river systems, these beds constitute a potential hazard to public health on account of possible epidemic infections being carried by the shell-fish.
