Of the 652 species of marine bivalves reported from India, 88 species are endemic and are mainly exploited for their meat and shells. They are also used in the ornamental shell craft, pharmaceutical, lime and dye industries. The total average bivalve fishery of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry during 2016-2020 was estimated.
