Title: Biology of Crassostrea madrasensis of Kakinada
Abstract: The concrete banks of the Kakinada canal harbour
the oyster Crassostrea madrasensis (Preston) and they
are particularly abundant at the mouth of the canal
which extends and opens into the Kakinada Bay.
The oyster beds are spread over an area of 2.25 ha
and the oysters are regularly collected by the fishermen.
Based on a survey conducted in April 1979, Narasimham
et. al (1984) estimated the density of the oysters in
these beds at 112-1862 no/m3 and the total stock at
90 t. There was no information available on the
biology of C. madrasertsis from the Kakinada Bay.
