Abstract


The group mollusca constitutes about six per cent of total world catch. In India, molluscan fisheries play a considerable role in the economy of fishermen who depend upon them for food, when fish becomes scarce. Though the natural resources of edible shellfish in India are vast, their utilization as well as exploitation is rather limited. More the use of molluscas in food industry, the significance of molluscans in future would be greater as a potential source for human consumption. "Clams" are a rich source of protein considered as delicious and available in much greater abundance than mussels and oysters. Attempts have been made to 'can' certain varieties of clams and mussels in India.
