Top Stutchbury'S Venus Fishing Countries

Stutchbury’s Venus (Cyclina sinensis) is a species of bivalve mollusk commonly found in the coastal mudflats and estuaries of East Asia. Renowned for its tender, flavorful flesh, it is a popular seafood delicacy in regional cuisines. The top Stutchbury’s Venus fishing countries are China, South Korea, and Japan, where the species is both harvested from the wild and cultivated through aquaculture. China leads global production, with extensive mudflat farming along the eastern and southern coasts, particularly in provinces like Fujian and Zhejiang. South Korea and Japan also maintain significant harvests, primarily through managed fisheries and small-scale aquaculture operations. The industry supports local economies and provides a valuable export commodity, though it faces challenges from habitat loss and overfishing, prompting efforts toward sustainable management and cultivation practices.
