Creator Kasim, H M
 
Subject Molluscan Fisheries
 
Description Examination of the mechanised boat landings at Tuticorin during 1984-86 and 1985-86, of the
sacred chank Xancus pyrum revealed that nearly 30.000 numbers of these sheila have been landed
on an average in a year during these two years. The paper gives an analysis of the catches, size
range of the chanks landed, areas fished and indicates the need for conservation policy to protect the
natural beds from being disturbed.
