Abstract
Live clams collected from their natural beds were depurated by starving them in
water. Water from their natural environment, potable water from municipal water
supply and sodium chloride solution made up to the strength of natural brackishwater
as well as all these chlorinated at 5 p.p.m level were used. The acid insoluble ash could
be brought down to insignificant level by depuration in natural water for a period of
16-18 h. Bacterial quality of the meat also could be improved by this method.
Chlorination of the system at the end of depuration further improves the bacterial
quality of the meat
