Gafrarium pectinatum,[2][3] also known as Gafrarium tumidum,[4][5] is a species of the genus Gafrarium in the family of Veneridae, order Veneroida in the bivalve class. They are edible clams.[5] WoRMS believe the latter is the synonyms of the other one,[6] but malocologist from Taiwan distinguish the two from the patterns of their shells[3][5][2][4]

Distribution

Mainly distributed in Japan [4], Taiwan (mainly at east shore[2][4] of the Taiwan Strait,[7] but also scattered along the Pacific shore[2][4]), South China Sea (Hainan Island and Daya Bay, Singapore, Malaysia[5][8]), as well as Phuket province of Thailand near Malaysia. Also seen in Chagos Archipelago[6][9] and Seychelles of Indian Ocean. After the opening of the Suez Canal, this species was brought from the Indo-Pacific Oceans to the Red Sea as well as the Mediterranean Sea.[10]

Consumption

This clam is usually fried or cooked into soup.
