Translation of "Venus clam " (English → French) :

The joint recommendations suggested that an exemption from the landing obligation be applied to common sole (Solea solea) in the Adriatic Sea and the mollusc bivalves scallop (Pecten jacobeus), carpet clams (Venerupis spp.) and Venus shells (Venus spp.) in the western Mediterranean Sea, as high survival rates can occur, taking into account the characteristics of the gear, of the fishing practices and of the ecosystem.

9. Takes the view that fishing techniques for demersal species should be examined carefully and in detail in order to identify the non- or least detrimental species for the seabed; stresses that appropriate use of fishing techniques for demersal stocks is of great importance in preventing the growth of excessive populations of veined rapa whelk (Rapana venosa), which threaten the natural filter represented by the seawater blue mussel (Mythilus galloprovincialis), the stripped venus clam (Chamelea gallina), noble oyster (Ostrea edulis) populations and many other shellfish;

This is of particular importance for the ecosystem of the Black Sea, as it has been revealed that Rapa whelk is in the position of ‘a predator without enemy‘ thus exercising great pressure on natural filters of sea waters like blue mussel (Mythilus galloprovincialis) and striped venus clam (Chamelea gallina), and seriously endangering the ecological balance of the Black Sea.

Furthermore, for the first time, the size of sardine is regulated, sizes that had disappeared from the Commission’s proposal are recovered, such as the size of clam or striped venus, and reasonable increases in size are introduced for other species, since the ultimate objective is to move closer to the scientific recommendations in the Mediterranean as well.
