Description Techno-ec~nomically viable bivalve culture systems have been evolved and are under use in
several countries. The tremendous potential of cultured shellfish resources to food supply and rural
employment is widely claimed. In India, rapid strides have been made on culturing clams mussels.
edible oysters, windowpane oysters and pearl oysters. However. these aquaculture technologies have
not been undertaken on commercial lines due to constraints like shortage of seed, lack of demand. lack
of awareness about the potential ot these resources in alleviating poverty and malnutrition, end in
providing employment and increasing income. More importantly, the role and efficiency of various fish
marketing systems in India need to be studied before encouraging production on a massive scale.
Therefore, identification of constraints to marketing of these cultured shellfish, and evolving and
implementing suitable strategies to market them successfully merit the attention of policy makers.
