The sand crabs, Emerita ayiatica and Albunea symizista belonging to the family Hippidae are abundant in the inter-tidal sandy beaches of Olcot Kuppam (Besant Nagar),
Ernerita asintica Thiruvanmiyur Kuppam, Neliankari,
Paanaiyur Kuppam, Kanathur Kuppam, Kovalam Kuppam, Marnrnallapuram and Kalpakkam in Tamilnadu, India. E.asiatica is called as "Elli Poochi" or "Nai Eluppa
Poochi" in Tamil. Prior to tsunami (December
261h 2004) the fisherwomen used to collect
them by hand picking during the low tide
period after locating the animals by inserting
their feet in the loose sand of the inter-tidal
region and were sold at a very low price,
since the sand crabs are very small containing
very little flesh.
