Description Bivalves (Oysters, Mussels and Clams) are molluscan fishery resources, which are comparatively less consumed in India. They are natural bio filters that purify the ecosystem besides providing nutritional security to the fish consuming population. However, in spite of the benefits, the consumption of these bivalves has improved only marginally thanks to the awareness drive initiated by Institutes like CMFRI.
Considering the potential of bivalve availability, anticipated consumption and also the potential livelihood opportunities provided by bivalve capture/ farming, a study was proposed under FIMSUL – II exclusively focusing on bivalve farming as a component with the following objectives. a) To study the demand and market potential of edible Oysters and green mussels in local and outside markets. b) To identify suitable sites for farming and spat collection and decide on the seasons of operations & marketing options. c) To identify suitable beneficiaries for carrying out farming demonstrations in a systematic manner and develop supply chain for value addition and marketing.
To estimate the demand market potential, two types of market surveys were conducted. The first survey was conducted in the villages where the bivalves are caught, sold and consumed. The second survey to estimate the market potential was conducted involving the hotels and resorts in both Chennai and Puducherry, who serve bivalves to their customers to assess the market potential.
