Description An estimated population of live window-pane oyster of 8,945.3 tonnes and
43,347.6 tonnes of shells of dead oyster is ;n the Kakinada Bay, spread out in an
area of 132 sq. km. The live oyster is confinsd to western and southern sides of
the Bay which are known to be reh lively more productive. The shells of dead
oyster are spread all over the Bay with very large concentration on the eastern
side. The fishermen remove window-pane oyster available on the southern and
western sides during January-May and the catches are utilised mainly for manufacture
of lime. It is suggested that extension of fishing season along vwith extension
of fishing ground to the eastern and central portions of the Bay will result in
greater yield of this resource. There is considerable scope in utilisation of this
resource by extracting pearls formed in them and also flesh being used as an
item of food.
