The Pullet Carpet Shell clam, commonly known as Longone clam, can grow up to 5 cm in length and is prized for its firm, delicious flesh<\/strong>. The history of Venerupis pullastrae has always been tied to intensive harvesting, especially in Spain. Back in 1956, clam production in Galicia accounted for 60% of Spain\u2019s national output. Today this clam is primarily fished in Spain, Portugal and France<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Morphological characteristics of Pullet Carpet Shell<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Pullet Carpet Shell has an equivalve, inequilateral and solid shell, slightly oval and rounded in shape<\/strong>. It is transversely elongated and truncated at the posterior end. <\/p>\n

On the outer surface of both valves, you can observe a fine reticulated pattern, formed by concentric growth lines intersected by delicate radial ribs<\/strong>, which are more pronounced at both ends. <\/p>\n

The pallial sinus is large and deep<\/strong> but does not extend beyond the midline of the valve, leaving a wedge-shaped gap between the lower edge of the sinus and the pallial line.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

External and internal coloration<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The outer shell varies in color from whitish-grey<\/strong>, to light brownish tones and pale yellowish-white. Sometimes, you can spot dark patches or broken lines on the shell surface<\/strong>. The interior is yellowish-white, with purplish hues around the posterior margin of the hinge. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Habitat, farming and harvesting techniques<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"These clams thrive in sandy and muddy seabeds, feeding on organic matter and phytoplankton, typically at depths of up to 40 meters<\/strong>. Their sexes are separate and hermaphroditic individuals can occasionally be found. <\/p>\n

Reproduction <\/strong>takes place naturally or in hatcheries, mostly during summer<\/strong>. In spring, artificial stimulation is required, using higher temperatures and an abundance of food to encourage spawning. The larvae<\/strong> swim freely for 10\u201315 days<\/strong> before settling on the seabed. <\/p>\n

How are Pullet Carpet Shell juveniles obtained? They come from protected beds, wild populations, or hatcheries. Once collected using a hand shovel, the juveniles are transferred to farming enclosures, where they are submerged (at a density of 800 clams per m\u00b2). Cultivation techniques are simple and straightforward<\/strong>: it\u2019s important to keep the substrate clean<\/strong>, preventing algae growth and protecting the clams from predators such as starfish and crabs. <\/p>\n

In Galicia, harvesting is still done in the traditional way<\/strong>: foot fishers walk the harvesting areas, using manual shovels or old-fashioned rakes<\/strong> to clear algae from the beds. After harvesting, if needed, the clams are sent to purification plants before reaching the market. <\/p>\n
