    The technology of oyster culture was developed in India at the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute. An experimental farm was established at Tuticorin bay in an area of 0.25 hectares. Different growout methods have been tried and it has been assessed that the shell string method could be practised with relatively low cost inputs with a production rate comparable to highly efficient systems such as rack and tray method or raft culture

    Bivalves play key role in ecosystem stabilisation due to inherent filter feeding capability and clams are important components of soft bottom benthic communities. In the Tuticorin Bay, mass mortality of fishes and shellfishes was observed in Februay 2008. The probable cause for the large scale mortality has been indicated as increased levels of ammonia (Asha et al., 2009). A rapid survey was conducted in the bay to assess the impact on the bivalve fauna
