Description Fishery for the short neck clam Paphia
malabarica sustains the livelihoods of around a
thousand fishers in Ashtamudi Lake. Commercial
fishing for P. malabarica in this area began 30 years
ago and because of sustainable management
practices adopted by the stakeholders, it became
India’s first Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)
certified fisheries in 2014. The Kayamkulam Lake
situated nearby supports a seasonal fishery of P.
malabarica during June to September.
