Description Crassostrea madrasensis (Preston) is a predominant
species of oyster in the estuaries and backwaters of Kerala ,
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu apd Andhra Pradesh States in India
(Plate.2). Hornell (1910) reported on the exploitation of
C.madrasensis on the Pulicat lake and on the Ennore backwaters.
In most of the areas, the oyster beds were destroyed
by the shell gatherers for lime industry. Small scale
exploitation of C.gryphoides is reported from the West
Coast of India also from the States of Gujarat, Maharastra
and Karnataka. The most important places where C. gryphoi~
is distributed and exploited are Satpati, Palghar,
Navapur, Kalve on the Bombay coast, and Alibang, Jaytapur,
Malwan, Karwar and Honavar, South of Bombay. C.cucullata
(Born) inhabits mostly the rocky substratum on both the
east and the west coasts. C.discoidea is distributed.
