Abstract

Thirty to 90 cm deep in the mud lies the mangrove clam – one of the most noteworthy species among the edible mangrove-associated mollusks. This mangrove clam Anodontia edentula (locally known as imbao) is widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific, from East and South Africa, including Madagascar and the Red Sea, to eastern Polynesia; north to southern Japan and Hawaii, and south to New South Wales. It inhabits the muddy bottom of mangrove areas, or the adjacent mudflats. It grows to a maximum size 8-9 cm shell length, total weight of 180-210 g and is a potential aquaculture species.
