Title Ill Edible Bivalves; Clams and others
 
Creator Nayar, K Nagappan

Subject Clam
 
Description Clams belonging to a number of species and a fevi' other edible bivalves
occur in appreciable quantities in different parts of the Indian coasts and support
subsistence fisheries. Thousands of square kilometres of our coastal seas,
backwaters and estuaries form ideal habitat for the growth of these bivalves and
many among the poorer classes of the coastal population use them as food
although it should be admitted that a vast majority of other fish-eating population
of our country have not developed a liking for these shellfish. The flesh of
clams being rich in glycogen, protein and health giving minerals is highly
nutritious.
