The hard clam, also known as a quahog (or quahaug), round clam, or hard-shell (or hard-shelled) clam, is an edible marine bivalve mollusk which is native to the eastern shores of North America, from Prince Edward Island to the Yucatán Peninsula. It is one of many unrelated edible bivalves which in the USA are frequently referred to simply as clams, as in clam digging.

  • The hard clam, also known as a quahog (or quahaug), round clam, or hard-shell (or hard-shelled) clam, is an edible marine bivalve mollusk which is native to the eastern shores of North America, from Prince Edward Island to the Yucatán Peninsula. It is one of many unrelated edible bivalves which in the USA are frequently referred to simply as clams, as in clam digging. Older literature sources may use the systematic name Venus mercenaria; this species is indeed in the family Veneridae, the venus clams. Confusingly, the "ocean quahog" is a different species, Arctica islandica, which, although superficially similar in shape, is in a different family of bivalves: it is rounder than the hard clam, usually has black periostracum, and there is no pallial sinus in the interior of the shell.
  • Il Quahog è un mollusco che si trova principalmente sulle coste dell'est nordamericane; infatti sono situati a partire da Prince Edward Island (Isola del Principe Edoardo) fino alla penisola dello Yucatán.
  • ホンビノスガイ(学名 Mercenaria mercenaria (Linnaeus, 1758) )はマルスダレガイ目・マルスダレガイ科の二枚貝の一種。潮間帯の砂や泥の中に生息する。 名前を漢字で記すと本美之主貝となる。これはVenus属(マルスダレガイ属)に当て字された美之主に由来する。これは、和名の命名時には本種がVenus属に分類されていたためである。なお現在は Mercenaria 属に分類が変更されている。
