Description The edible oyster Crassostrea madrasensis
commonly known as the backwater oyster is farmed
in the estuarine regions of Kerala by setting up
wooden rack farms from which rens are suspended.
Proximity to the homesteads is one of the reasons
for this technology to become popular among women
self help groups. The farming season is from
November/December to June, but may extend to July
also depending on the onset of monsoon. At present,
the farm structures are near to the shore line in a
linear manner, providing space for navigation in the
inner part of the estuarine channels. Initially when
commercial farming started in Sattar Island in the
year 2002, there were only few farms, hence, spacing
of farms was not a problem.
