Even though, tribals are not perceived as untouchable ‘lower caste Hindu’ population by the mainstream upper-caste Hindus, they are marginalized and considered as backward and primitive ‘jati’ or caste with a pariah status (Mitra, 2008). This perception however, did not help the tribals. Whereas, lower caste Hindus enjoyed minimal opportunities to integrate with mainstream society and to share few common custom and traditions, the tribals have been excluded and isolated from the mainstream society (Mitra, 2008). The Koragas are one of the primitive tribes perhaps the poorest among the scheduled tribes in Karnataka and Kerala faced serious problems such as povertyillhealth ,malnutrition, morbidity leading to mortality together with deforestation, exploitation result in depopulation of the particular primitive tribe.

  • Clam Fishery of Mulky Estuary During 1978-1982
    CLAM FISHERY OF MULKY ESTUARY DURING 1978-1982 G. SYDA RAO Research Centre of C. M. F. R. Institute, Mangalore 575001. ABSTRACT The magnitude of production of and effort spent in the clam fishery of Mulky estuary from 1978-79 to 1981-82 are presented. An estimated average of about 475 t of clams were landed annually, comprising Meretrix casta (76%) and Paphia malabarica (24%). M. casta is utilised for its meat and shells, whereas P. malabrica exclusively for its meat. The methods of fishing, utilisation and price structure are indicated. Heavy precipitation during S.W. monsoon appears to influence the clam fishery in the succeeding months. INTRODUCTION The numerous estuaries in Dakshina Kannada district in Karnataka have vast resources of clams, which form a source of sustenance fishery. Mulky, a coastal town, is situated about 30 km north of Mangalore. Two rivers, the Sam- bhavi and the Pavanji, which originate in the western ghats, open into the sea at Chitrap, a place near Mulky. The estuary with a total area of about 750 ha has extensive clam beds and sub-fossil deposits. Alagarswami and Narasimham (1973) had referred to the clam fishery here. Gopal et al (1976) estimated the sub-fossil shell stock at about 500,000 t. The clam fishery was studied during the years from 1978 to 1982 with a view to estimating production. METHODS Weekly observations were made to collect data on effort, catch and species composition of clams, based on random sampling, during four years, from 1978 to 1982. Annual estimates are for the period April to March.
