The Triangular Tivela (Tivela triangula) is a species of marine bivalve mollusk found primarily in the coastal waters of East Asia. This clam is recognized for its triangular shell and is prized as a seafood delicacy, particularly in local cuisines. The top fishing countries for Triangular Tivela are China, Japan, and South Korea, where extensive tidal flats and sandy beaches provide ideal habitats for this species. In these countries, both wild harvest and aquaculture contribute to the supply, with China leading global production due to its large-scale coastal fisheries and advanced aquaculture techniques. The fishing industry for Triangular Tivela supports local economies and provides employment, but it also faces challenges such as habitat degradation and the need for sustainable management to ensure long-term viability of stocks.
