Subject: Veneridae help and ID


> Dear Friends,
>
> There is a Veneridae species that is imported from
> Korea and sold in Portugal as Tapes sp. for edible
> reasons (maybe Tapes japonica!!). What I have been
> said is that this species is cultured in large
> quantities in Korea, deep frozen and then exported.
> Since the shell is very similar to Tapes decussates,
> it is sometime sold in restaurants as T. decussates
> with out people even knowing. T. decussates is sold at
> a relatively high price (7 to 10 euro Kg) here in
> Portugal while this Tapes sp. from Korea can be bought
> at 2euro per Kg.
> I am sure this occurs with other edible as well as
> collectable species :-)...
>
> If someone could help me out with the ID and any other
> addition information for this species I would be more
> then happy.
> I can send attachment image but could not post it on
> Conch-L.
> My best and sincere regards and thank you,
> Carlos Afonso
