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).
