Description Among the renewable molluscan resources in India, the clams of
the estuarine and backwater regions provide livelihood for the poor who
exploit them for their meat and shells. The clam meat is rich in protein and
is also cheap when compared to prawns and fishes. It is relished by the rich
and the poor alike in Karnataka. The clam shells, made up of mostly calcium
carbonate, are used for industrial purposes. The export of frozen clam meat
started recently during the eighties enhanced the rate of exploitation
considerably in states like Kerala causing concern. Therefore the study of
this resource has gained Importance in recent years.
