Abstract

The quality of the clam Meretrix casta from two different localities at Athankarai
estuary and marine fish farm at Mandapam was assessed by three methods. It was found
that clams inhabiting Athankarai estuary were of better quality than those from the fish
farm. The probable caiise appears to be the better nutritional conditions in the natural
habitat of Athankarai estuary along with the free-flowing water and moderate salinity
prevailing there.
