Description The black clam, Villorita cyprinoides
(Family Corbiculidae) is the most
important clam species landed in India which
contributes about two-thirds of the total clam
landings of Kerala. Major proportion of this
species is harvested from Vembanad Lake,
followed by the Malabar Coast. The black
clam fishery was recorded from Vembanad
Lake, the largest estuary, 96 km long, on the
west coast of India. More than 4,000
fishermen are involved in the fishery which
includes 2,000-2,500 of active fishers.
