  • Shelled Molluscs
    Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS) Archimer http://www.ifremer.fr/docelec/ ©UNESCO-EOLSS Archive Institutionnelle de l’Ifremer Shelled Molluscs Berthou P.1, Poutiers J.M.2, Goulletquer P.1, Dao J.C.1 1 : Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer, Plouzané, France 2 : Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France Abstract: Shelled molluscs are comprised of bivalves and gastropods. They are settled mainly on the continental shelf as benthic and sedentary animals due to their heavy protective shell. They can stand a wide range of environmental conditions. They are found in the whole trophic chain and are particle feeders, herbivorous, carnivorous, and predators. Exploited mollusc species are numerous. The main groups of gastropods are the whelks, conchs, abalones, tops, and turbans; and those of bivalve species are oysters, mussels, scallops, and clams. They are mainly used for food, but also for ornamental purposes, in shellcraft industries and jewelery. Consumed species are produced by fisheries and aquaculture, the latter representing 75% of the total 11.4 millions metric tons landed worldwide in 1996. Aquaculture, which mainly concerns bivalves (oysters, scallops, and mussels) relies on the simple techniques of producing juveniles, natural spat collection, and hatchery, and the fact that many species are planktivores.

  • Status of Molluscan Fisheries of India
    03 Status of Molluscan Fisheries of India K. Sunil Mohamed Head, Molluscan Fisheries Division Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute Cochin 682018, Kerala. Email: [email protected] Introduction Molluscs are a fascinating and varied group of animals and although their outside features may vary greatly in form and colour, their internal structure are constant. The invertebrate phylum Mollusca with more than 80,000 species is second only to Arthropoda in number of species. In India, the molluscs contribute to important fisheries, providing nutritious food, and are also foreign exchange earners to the country. The shell has many industrial uses and is the object in making eye-catching articles by deft craftsmen. Men, women and children participate in fishing molluscs, which provide employment and income in coastal rural areas. Magnitude of Molluscan Fisheries in India Cephalopods are by far the most important group with an average annual production of about 1,05,000 tonnes (see Fig.1). They are landed as by-catch and as a targeted fishery mostly in mechanized trawlers operating up to 200 m depth, and beyond in some areas. Next in importance are the bivalves and fishing is pursued as a small-scale activity, mostly at subsistence level in various estuaries and inshore seas. The annual average clam production is about 57,000 t, oysters about 18,800 t, and marine mussels about 14,900 t (see Fig.2). There was no fishery for marine pearl oysters since 1962 in the Gulf of Mannar area, which earlier supported major fisheries. Scallops occur in stray numbers and do not form a fishery, while the windowpane oyster was of considerable fishery value till a few years back.
