Summary:Landings of manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum were steady high in 2010–2016 and exceeded the recommended volume that caused deterioration of its resources in the areas of large aggregations.

Total stock of Ruditapes philippinarum in the Aniva Bay is estimated as 240 t, including 203 t of clams with commercial size.
