Description Clams are perhaps the most widely distributed and utilized aquatic invertebrates providing protein-rich food in much greater abundance than mussels and oysters. In India,
their exploitation at present is limited to the natural
resources which may get depleted in course of time. Clam
culture has not been taken up in our country on any commercial
or semi-commercial scale, though there is scope for it because
of the availability of vast stretches of suitable areas as well
as seed clams, either from nature or by producing them in
hatcheries. Such a proposition may become imperative in
future since the demand for more food has to be met by resorting to new methods for augmenting food production.
