Abstract Live clams ( Villorita cyprinoides) collected from their natural beds were packed in
different ways like dry pack, tray pack, in oxygenated water (wet pack) and depurated
samples in wet pack. It was found that the packaging in l kg lots in 200 gauge polythene
bags with oxygen at a temperature of 20°C could keep them live for 4 days. In
tray pack without oxygen and water they can be kept alive for 3 days at 20°C. Temperature
seems to be the critical factor in the transportation of live clams. At room temperature
both dry and wet pack can be kept for 24 h only. Depuration technique
does not appear to be useful in prolonging the storage life of clams in live condition as
percentage mortality is more at 48 h both at 20°C and room temperature compared to
the non-depurated samples
