Description The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) by setting up
demonstration farms and conducting training programmes to fishers was able to
popularize bivalve farming in Kerala State. Simultaneously, through interactions
with the State government officials and members oflocal governing bodies, project
proposals on oyster and mussel farming were recognized .as financially viable
schemes for rural development and self-employment. Since 1995, edible bivalves
like the Indian backwater oyster, Crassotrea madrasensis and the green mussel,
Perna viridis are farmed on a commercial scale in the estuaries of Kerala
