Abstract
The Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinaMm (Pelecypoda: Veneridae) is present along the coasts of Korea, China and Japan. In particular, Recently, due to reclamation of tidal areas along the west coast, marine pollution, and reckless overharvesting of this clam, its standing stock has reduced for a decade. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the population of the clam with a proper fishing regime that will maintain an optimal population size in aqua farm. (omitted)
