Description The successful development of hatchery technology
for production of pearl oyster Pinctada fucata spat in
1981 at the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute
(Alagarswami et al, 1983 a, b, c) is an important milestone
in the progress of research and development of
molluscan shelfish culture in India. This is evident
from the fact that subsequently, similar developments
have been achieved in the production of spat of the
oyster Crassostrea madrasensis in 1982 (Nayar et al.,
1984), green mussel Perna viridis (Rangarajan, 1983)
and brown mussel P. indie a in 1983 (Appukuttan et al,
1984). These developments have resulted in the
establishment of a moderate shellfish hatchery at
Tuticorin which has become capable of mass production
of spat of any of these marine bivalves with a
certain degree of predictabilitly.
