The mature Dosinia, commonly known as Dosinia clams, are a genus of marine bivalve mollusks found in sandy coastal waters. These clams are prized for their delicate flavor and are harvested both for local consumption and export. The top countries engaged in Dosinia fishing include China, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In China and Japan, Dosinia clams are an important part of the seafood industry, often featured in traditional dishes and harvested through both wild capture and aquaculture. New Zealand is renowned for its sustainable management of Dosinia fisheries, particularly along the North Island's coasts, where the species is commercially significant. The United Kingdom, especially around the southern and eastern coasts, also supports a modest Dosinia fishery, with the clams being sold fresh or processed. Collectively, these countries contribute significantly to the global supply of Dosinia clams, balancing economic value with efforts to maintain healthy marine ecosystems.
