Top Corrugated Venus Fishing Countries

The Corrugated Venus (Cyclina sinensis) is a species of bivalve mollusk found primarily in the coastal mudflats and estuaries of East Asia. Recognized for its thick, corrugated shell and edible flesh, the Corrugated Venus is an important seafood resource in several Asian countries. The top Corrugated Venus fishing countries are China, South Korea, and Japan, where the species is harvested both from the wild and through aquaculture. China is by far the largest producer, accounting for the majority of global landings due to its extensive tidal flats and well-developed shellfish farming industry. South Korea and Japan also have significant fisheries, where the Corrugated Venus is valued as a delicacy and often featured in local cuisine. The fishing industry surrounding this species supports coastal economies and provides livelihoods for many small-scale fishers, though it also faces challenges such as habitat degradation and overfishing in some areas.
