Mangrove ecosystems have provided a variety of
goods and services to the coastal communities over
centuries (Primavera et al., 2002). Mangrove forests
are considered as safe nursery ground for several
organisms including finfish, crustaceans and molluscs.
Toothless lucine, mangrove clam Anadontia
edentula is widely distributed in the mangrove forest
of Indo-Pacific extending from East and South
Africa towards Madagascar and the Red Sea and to
eastern Polynesia and from southern Australia to
northern Japan (sealifebase.ca). It is an edible clam
living in burrows, from surface up to about half
meter deep in the inter tidal zones of the mangrove
areas. Mangrove clams are collected by the local
population for consumption and it fetch a good
price in south east Asian countries like Philippines
(Primavera et al., 2002).
