Creator Nayar, K Nagappan
 
Subject Edible oyster
 
Description Among Hornell's(1910,1916,1918,1922) suggestions
for the future fisheries developmental programmes in
the country was his indication about the vast scope
in the realm of oyster farming in the Madras State.
He initiated some experimental farming on the model
of that in France. However, his attempt remained unaccomplished
in the sense that there was no oyster
production of significance, nor was there any organised
effort in exploiting the natural resources due to the
general disinterestedness of the public in oyster meat
consumption. But the advancement of science and
technology over the past three decades has brought
about a reversal of the attitude of the public with greater
awareness to utilise the protein rich marine organisms
in their dietary needs, this is partly due to the reaUsation
that agricultural production is reading a stage
where the human needs will find it difficult to meet
their future requirements on account of population
explosion. It is in this context oyster culture assumes
special significance as the oysters are easy to grow in
farms and plenty in national abundance to supply the
seed.
