Abstract: The clam fishery rasourcts of ths Ashtamudi lake are supported by several species belonging to \nVlllorlta, Katelysia, Meretrix and Paphia. However, Villorlta cyprlnoides and Katelysia opima contribute \nto the bulk of the resource. The extant of the major clam beds, the estimate of the present stock \nand the magnitude of the existing fishery suggest increased production.
