 Description:   Cockles are bivalve molluscs which commonly inhabit muddy seashores. Culture of these molluscs in Thailand began about 75 years ago at Bang Tabun Subdistrict, Baan Laem District, Phetchaburi Province. The cockle seeds were collected and reseeded in a bamboo fenced area (Chomdet and Poocharoen 1979). The fencing was 50 cm high and enclosed an area of 5-10 rai (one rai = 1,600 m2).
The farmers sifted seed from natural beds for sowing in the culture area. The culture period was one to two years. Later, cockle farming spread to other districts in the Province and into Samut Songkhram Province.
