Introduction
Myanmar lies in the tropical zone
having 1760 miles long coastline, adjoining with a delta region. Thus, she is
enriched with both inland and oversea marketable economic varieties, such as
fishes, shrimps, prawns, lobsters, clams, musses, squids and deep-sea animals.

Myanmar intends to carry out the clam-breeding farm and to produce the meat
inside for exportation on the basis of a joint venture project with Hikari
Trading Corporation of Japan.
Aim
Until now, there is no clam breeding
farm industry and value-added clam meat production by high-tech culture. Again,
such an end product has never been sold at foreign market.
If 12 millions clam have been
collected every year, extinction of species will result within a short-term
period of two years. If such circumstance prevails, production of end products
will also be ceased along with the extinction. Thus, it is aimed to bring about:
(i) Breeding and culture research, and
(ii) Production of value-added meat and to export,
jointly.
