    (Fishtech Reporter, 2020) Gopal, Nikita; C. S, Sethulakshmi; Anju, A. V.; S., Sreejith; J., Bindu
    The clam fishing activity in Perumbalam village, an island in the Vembanad estuarine system in Alappuzha District, is completely family-based. About 200 families are engaged in clam collection, processing and marketing for their livelihood, with fishermen looking after harvesting, processing and marketing being taken care of by the fisherwomen. The households involved in clam picking are spread across eight wards along the coast. The ICAR-Central Institute of Fisheries Technology, Cochin intervened in this venture with the intention of transforming this family-centric activity into a centralized clam production, processing and marketing activity with people’s participation.
