Manila Clam (Tapes philippinarum Adams & Reeve, 1852) in the Lagoon of Marano and Grado (Northern Adriatic Sea, Italy): Socio-Economic and Environmental Pathway of a Shell Farm

The environmental and socio economic vicissitudes of the Manila clam in the Lagoon of Marano and Grado represent a case study: after more than 20 years of fights, farmers, fishermen and environmental policy seem to have found the pathway toward a sustainable shell farm. T. philippinarum arrived in the northern Adriatic lagoons as an alien species in ‘80th, leading to a total derangement of socio economic and environmental conditions. Now after almost 30 years, thanks to the model of shell farming in the Lagoon of Marano, this acclimated species could constitute strength for the fisheries economy of the lagoons and the northern Adriatic too.
