Description In India states like Kerala and Karnataka have a flourishing
bivalve fishery driven by demand for bivalve meat.
However, in states like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu
bivalve meat consumption is very negligible and demand
is driven by the lime and shell craft industries only. Bivalves
are locally known as “Gollalu” in Andhra coast with
major species recorded being Crassostrea madrasensis,
Saccostrea cucculata, M. meretrix, Meretrix casta, Marcia
opima, Paphia malabarica, Tegillarca granosa, T. rhombea
and Perna viridis. Mainly distributed along the shallow
regions of Gostani estuary and Godavari estuary. In
the Gostani estuary, the bivalve fishing grounds are
Konadu, Moolaguddu, Nagamayyapalem, Thottepalem,
Chinnanagarama, Asipalem, and Gudivada.
