| Popis: | 132 The bivalve mollusk Mactra chinensis Philippi, 1847 is of significant commercial importance in the Asian–Pacific area; therefore, it is studied by malacol� ogists intensely. On the basis of morphological data, researchers suggested a divergence of this species in the Sea of Japan. As a consequence of the divergence, the southern and northern populations have already appeared which are different in the shape, color, and the shell pattern. For example, in the South Korean part of the Sea of Japan, the Mactra shell is described as faintly colored, yellowish, without any brown rays, while in the Russian part of the Sea of Japan, there is |
