The magnitude of production of and effort spent in the clam fishery of Mulky estuary from 1978-79 to 1981-82 are presented. An estimated average of about 475 t of clams were landed annually, comprising Meretrix casta (76%) and Paphia malabarica (24%). M. casta is utilised for its meat and shells, whereas P. malabrica exclusively for its meat. The methods of fishing, utilisation and price structure are indicated.
