Short-neck clam biomass
Ashtamudi Lake
 
Description Not Available
Ashtamudi Lake (Lat. 8°45' - 9°28' N and Long.
76°28' - 77°17’) supports more than 500 families
who depend on the clam resources available here for
their livelihood. Among clams, the Short neck clam
(Paphia malabarica) is widely distributed and
continuously exploited for local consumption as well
as for export. The alarming increase in the
exploitation of P. malabarica immediately after the
initiation of frozen clam meat export during 1981,
forced the local administration to impose a ban on
clam fishing during the breeding season (December
to February) and also place restriction on the mesh
size of clam dredges in 1993, based on the
recommendation of the Central Marine Fisheries
Research Institute (CMFRI).
