The Manila Clam Ruditapes philippinarum: Science and Significance of a Globalised Species is an indispensable volume offering the only comprehensive account of the species. From a native range centred on China, Japan and Korea, the species is now found in the USA, Canada, in western Europe from Portugal to Sweden with all countries between, and in the Mediterranean from France to Turkeyi. A general survey of the science and global spread of this successful species provides the basis for an examination of broader issues of biological globalization, food security and the exploitation of nature, posing significant questions and challenges for conservation policy and sustainable development in the anthropocene. Drawing on a multidisciplinary range of literature, this book provides essential information for those in the fields of marine biology, aquaculture and fisheries, marine conservation and malacology.
