Abstract: The Blood clam Anadara granosa (Linnaeus) is widely distributed
in the Indo-Pacific. Besides being an important resource
for the capture fishery in several countries, it is extensively cultivated
in Japan, Malaysia, Republic of China, Thailand and Taiwan.
This species occurs in stray niunbers along the Indian Coast and
is unique in that it forms a fishery of some magnitude (2000 t/year)
only in the Kakinada Bay. Based on the experiments conducted
in 4 seasons during 1979 - 82, simple techniques for augmenting
the production of A. granosa by transplantation, were developed by
the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute at Kakinada.
