Description Practical dissemination of bivalve farming technologies
in the potential maritime locations of Sindhudurg district
was undertaken by ICAR-CMFRI. Initially a demoyster
farm was setup in Wadatar, in Sindhudurg District
under the UNDP-GEF funded project “Demonstration
of bivalve farming at Sindhudurg District in the State
of Maharashtra”. The training and demonstration for
oyster farming was given to the Self Help Groups-SHG,
“Prasidhi” consisting of 10 members. Five hundred
strings containing 7,000 numbers of oysters were
harvested. Each string consists of 10-15 live oysters. Live
oysters were sold at the rate of Rs. 150-200 per dozen.
A total profi t of Rs.45,000 was realized. This successful
case study can be used as a case manual for group action
for bivalve farming technology.
