Population Dynamics of Corbicula (Corbiculina) papyracea Heude from Chungpyeong, Korea

Corbicula (Corbiculina) papyracea (Heude) is fresh water clam which lives on the sands and muds, its size was about 3~25 mm with yellow gray color. Shell width of the clam is thin and smooth and growth lines are marvelous and inside of shell colored pink or pink with red. And the clam reproduces itself through virgin generation (Park et al., 1989), ovoviviparous (Kwon et al., 2001) method. There are reports about Corbicula by Kim and Yoo (2000), Kwon et al. (1987), and Lee et al. (1985) but there aren't many report about C. (C.) papyracea. The aim of this work is to present the dynamics of D.(C.) papyracea from Chungpyeong.
