Description The efforts made by the Central Marine Fisheries
Research Institute (CMFRI) to rejuvenate the black
clam (Villorita cyprinoides) resource in the Vembanad
Lake has paid off as local fisherfolk have started
to harvest good catches from the region. Aimed at
boosting the clam fishery and enhancing livelihood
option for the clam fishers in the region, the Molluscan
Fisheries Division of CMFRI re-laid (stocked) baby clams
after identifying suitable areas on the northern side of
the Thanneermukkam Barrage. As part of this initiative,
which was under a project on ‘Rejuvenation of Clam’
taken up by the Fisheries Department of Kerala using
the District Panchayat Scheme, approximately 200
tonnes of baby black clams were re-laid in Keecheri and
Chakkathukadu areas of the Vembanad Lake under the
technical guidance of CMFRI
