Scapharca subcrenata (Lischke)

Classification and distribution: Mollusca, Bivalvia, Corydalis, Corydalis, mainly distributed along the coasts of China, Korea and Japan. More common in the Bohai Sea and East China Sea. Lives in the muddy and sandy bottom of shallow inner bays from the low tide line to a depth of more than ten meters, mostly 4-8 meters.

Morphological characteristics: The adult shell is 4-5 cm long, the shell surface is swollen and oval, the shell top is protruding and rolled inward and biased to the front; the shell surface has 30-44 radial ribs, and small square tubercles appear on the ribs; the hinge is straight, with about 50 teeth; the shell surface is white and covered with brown villi. Biological characteristics: The digestive organs are composed of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and anus. The main food is diatoms and organic debris. The gonads are wrapped around the digestive glands (visceral mass). When sexually mature, the female gonads are purple-red, and the males are yellow-white. The gonadal opening is on the ventral surface of the posterior adductor muscle, one on each side. The eggs (egg diameter 50-60 microns) are fertilized and hatched in seawater. The hairy clams living in Liaodong Bay of Bohai Sea mostly lay eggs from early July to early August; there are 2-3 peaks of sperm and egg discharge during the breeding period, each about half a month apart. The shell length of 4 cm or so individuals can lay 2 million to 3 million eggs at a time. The spawning water temperature is mostly between 25-27℃. The larvae float in the seawater and enter the D-shaped larvae in the trochophore stage. At 150 microns, the top of the shell begins to be significantly larger than the shell height, and is nearly long and oval; after the shell is 220 microns long, eyespots appear, and it is about to enter the attached metamorphosis. The entire floating period takes about 16-17 days. After the larvae end their floating life, they attach to solid objects such as sand, shells, and seaweed with their byssus. The byssus is ribbon-shaped and exists for life; it has the ability to regenerate and attach after falling off. When the shell is 1.2-1.5 cm long, it falls to the seabed and begins to live in shallow burial, and grows into an adult shell in about 2-2.5 years.

Economic Significance: Edible shellfish with high vitamin B12 content.

Second, are there many kinds of clams? Is there a specific one?

Clams are a very small branch of all shellfish. Clams include, for example, Chinese clams, flat clams, and four-cornered clams. They belong to the family of clams, not just one. Clams and clams are two different things, not the same thing.
