The raw surf clam meat was pretreated with BHA, EDTA or $NaHSO_3$. The pretreated meat was chopped with chopper, and spread the chopped meat on nylon net, and then dehydrated with cabinet type hot air dryer. In the surf clam meat flake process, the pretreating and the copping steps prior to final dehydration improved the pigment retention and texture of the products. The chopping steps prior to dehydration reduced the dehydration time of surf clam meat. The BHA treatment prior to dehydration of mashed surf clam meat had an outstanding effect on the pigment retention during a process of dehydration and storage. The surf dam meat flakes reabsorbed water more rapidly about two times than the dehydrated natural surf clam meat products. The surf clam meat flakes stored for three months in the dark place showed less pigment loss than the exposed ones, and the former reabsorbed water more rapidly than the latter.

The effect of EDTA or BHA pretreatment upon the color preservation of canned surf clam meat during canning and storage was studied. The steamed surf clam meat was soaked in BHA solution, $0.1\%$ BHA in $5\%$ salt solution, or EDTA solution, $0.5\%\;Na_2$ EDTA in $5\%$ salt solution, for 30 minutes. The pretreated surf clam meat was packed in a round enameled can that is 223.2 ml by volume and sterilized for 75 minutes at $110^{\circ}C$. The canned products were stored for one year at room temperature. The EDTA treatment of surf clam meat appeared effective on color preservation during processing. After three month storage, the samples showed little color change comparing with those right after processing. After one year storage, EDTA or BHA treated samples showed better color preservation as compared with control.

The cooked surf clam meat was treated with BHA or EDTA, and then dehydrated by means of hot-air dehydration or sun drying. The dehydrated products were packed in glass bottle and stored for three months in the dark place. After three month storage, the pigment loss and water absorbing capacity of dehydrated products were compared with those of directly after dehydration. Both of the sun dried and hot-air dehydrated surf clam products showed a great deal of pigment loss during storage. The BHA treatment prior to dehydration of surf clam meat had good effects on the pigment retention, and the EDTA treatment had a weak effect on it during storage. The rate of rehydration of dehydrated surf clam products had markedly decreased during storage. And it could be seen that there was little difference among the rate of rehydration of the BHA or EDTA treated product and untreated one during storage.

Larvae of pandalid shrimp Pandalopsis japonica are benthic, and may prefer bottom to planktonic food items. Three diets, enriched Artemia meta-nauplii (AR), clam meat (CM), and crumbled shrimp (CD), were evaluated as food for early larvae in terms of biometric growth R:D ratios. Larvae fed AR and CM had significantly greater total length and dry weight than did larvae fed CD (P<0.05). Survival was significantly greater in larvae fed CM than in those fed AR and CD (P<0.05). R:D ratios were also significantly higher in larvae fed AR and CM than in those fed CD (P<0.05). Planktonic Artemia meta-nauplii containing high levels of fatty acids and amino acids were not suitable for either normal somatic growth or survival at early benthic larval stages. Furthermore, it is necessary to determine the optimal feeding duration to increase digestibility of AD. Thus, we propose that clam meat is the best diet for pandalid shrimp larvae.

The effect of the dehydration method and EDTA or BHA treatment upon the pigment degradation and water re-absorption of the dehydrated meat of the surf clam Mactra Sulcataria REEVE was studied. Sun drying Produced a realer decrease in pigment content as compared to that produced by hot-air dehydration. The hot-air dehydrated product which was treated with BHA showed little pigment loss in comparison with the pigment of the fresh surf clam meat. The BHA treatment upon the dehydrated surf clam products had an outstanding effect on the pigment retention and the EDTA treated one had a weak effect on it. The hot-air dehydrated products more rapidly re-absorbed water than the sun dried one. It could be seen that there was tittle difference among the rate of rehydration of the BHA or EDTA treated product and untreated one.

The growth of manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum inhabiting culturing ground was studied in west coast Gomso tidal flat of Korea, from August 2000 to July 2001. The density of the clam was the highest in November 2000, showing a monotonic decrease afterwards over the study period. Mean density was $1,224ind./m^2$ during the study period. Size frequencies of the clam showed a unimodal distribution, and its mode increased with shell growth over time. Although the growth of shell length of manila clam was monotonic, the growth rates decreased between July 2001 and February 2002 and increased from March 2002. The biomass of the clam also increased with time, in which the increments becoming larger since March 2002. The clam shell length had linear relationship to shell height, and had logarithmic relationship to total weight, meat wet weight, dry meat weight, and AFDW. Condition index of the clam increased continuously until April, decreasing afterwards in 2001. The pattern was similar in 2002. Based on fluctuations in condition index, the spawning time of manila clam in Gomso tidal flat is inferred to be between May and October. These results suggested that optimal harvests can be made before summer season when growth decreased and mass mortality occurred, after 24 months of seed shell release.

The changes in amino acid contents of sea mussel and baby clam during drying at 40, 50 and 6$0^{\circ}C$ and storage at low temperature(4$^{\circ}C$) and room temperature(2$0^{\circ}C$) were investigated. Amino acids of 17kinds were analyzed in sea mussel and baby clam. Total amino acids content of raw sample were similar to sea mussel and baby clam(6575.30mg%, 6764mg%), decreased during drying and rate of decreasing was higher in baby clam than that of sea mussel. The content of Glx was highest in sea mussel(790.55mg%) and baby clam(990.89mg%), other amino acids differed from samples. The content of amino acids of low drying temperature(40 and 5$0^{\circ}C$) decreased was higher than that of high drying temperature(6$0^{\circ}C$). The rate of decreasing was higher at room temperature(2$0^{\circ}C$) storage and short storage periods than that of low temperature(4$^{\circ}C$) storage and long storage periods.

Gonadal development and maturation mechanism were studied on the freshwater marsh clam Corbicula papyracea (Heude), which is the endangered species in Korea. The specimens were collected in the rearing ponds and waterway of NFRDI in Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do from January to December 2004, and then investigated by condition factor, relative growth, gonadal development phases and gonad histological characters based on 30-50 individuals every month. Comparing with the freshwater marsh clam, C. papyracea is small, light olive brown shell and violet interior. The hermaphrodite individuals of C. papyracea take an internal fertilization and fertilized eggs are stored in the foster-sack in the gills, then the hatched juveniles are released outside after an ovoviviparous process. The average water temperature of inhabit area was in range of $1.8-27.0^{\circ}C$ and usually took great effects on the gonad maturation of C. papyracea. The condition factor ranged from 0.14 to 0.21 throughout the year, which was the lowest during winter season (December-February), and gradually increased to the highest value of 0.21 in May. The ratio of meat weight to total weight was 25.9-38.7%, indicating the similar trend with condition factor. The highest values of condition factor and the ratio of meat weight appeared 1-2 months later than gonadosomatic index reached the peak value, it was probably because that the ovoviviparous eggs would spend a long period before hatching from the foster-sack in the gills. To synthesize the characters of meat weight, condition factor and gonad development by histological study, reproductive cycle of C. papyracea could be divided into five successive stages: multiplicative stage (December to February), growing stage (February to May), mature stage (June to August), spawning stage (August to November), recovery stage (November to December). The smallest shell length of matured C. papyracea was 12.6 mm, and individuals, larger than 16 mm, was formed the nursery in the gills.

Growth pattern of the soft clam (Mya arenaria oonogei) was estimated based on samples collected from the Yeongsan River estuary on the southwest coast of Korea between August 1996 and September 1997. Mean density of the clam during study period was $55\;ind./m^2$ and varied monthly from 281 to $8\;ind./m^2.$ The clams from the study area ranged in age from one year to seven years, with shell lengths between 40.4 mm and 104.1 mm and biomass between 8.4 and 152.3 g in total wet weight. The spawing season was estimated to occur between September and October based upon a reduced fatness index, an indication of spawning, during these months. Burial depths increased with growth of the clams and most were found buried between 10 and 20 cm in the sediments. Significant relationships were found between shell length and shell height (SH), total wet weight, (TWt), meat wet weight (MWt), meat dry weight (DWt), ash free dry weight (AFDW) and burial depth. The von Bertalanffy growth equations of the clams were $L_t(mm)=138.98(1-e^{-0.1325(t+0.8853)})\;and\;W_t\;(gTWt)=325.93\;(1-e^{0.1325(t+0.8853)})^{2.6982}.$ These equations suggest that in their first year the clams should reach 31 mm in length with a biomass of 5.7 g in total wet weight.
