The Asian Clam (Corbicula fluminea) is a small, freshwater bivalve mollusk native to Asia. It has a rounded, oval shell that can vary in color from yellow to brown. These clams thrive in various aquatic environments, including rivers, lakes, and ponds, and are known for their ability to reproduce rapidly, which can lead to large populations. Introduced to other regions, including parts of North America and Europe, the Asian Clam can sometimes become invasive. Its presence can disrupt local ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources. Management efforts are often necessary to control its spread and protect native biodiversity.
