Clam resources form the livelihood of more than five hundred families in and around Ashta­ mudi Lake, situated between latitude 8°45' - 9°28' N and 76°28 - 77" 17' E. The alarming increase in the exploitation of Paphia malabarica in the re­ cent years forced the Government of to impose ban on the fishing activities during its breeding season based on the recommendations of CMFRI in 1993. In order to assess the present status of clam resources of Ashtamudi Lake, a survey was conducted from 2nd to 10th February 1996 by the Molluscan Fisheries Division of CM­ FRI, Cochin as part of the project on clam seed production and ranching' funded by the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA), Cochin, Government of India.

In 1993, the price of seahorses were ranging from Rs. 8 to 10/piece. In 1999-2000, similar trend was noted and in exceptional cases the cost went up to Rs.l2/piece. During this period, the larger seahorses commanded a higher price of Rs.l2,000/kg. In addition, traders from Bihar, Madhya Pradesh came to the PaUc Bay coast and transported seahorses to Burma border. Enquir­ ies revealed that they exchanged the dried sea­ horses for other materials from Burma and other south east Asian countries.
