The grooved carpet shell, or Palourde clam, Ruditapes decussatus, or Venerupis decussatus, is a clam (bivalve mollusc) in the family Veneridae.It is distributed worldwide and is highly prized due to its ecological and economic interest. It has been proposed as a bioindicator.. This species is one of the most popular and profitable mollusks of lagoonal and coastal sites in the Mediterranean and Ruditapes decussatus is morphologically and ecologically similar to the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum, which has been recently introduced for aquaculture in the very same habitats of Ruditapes decussatus, and that is replacing the native species. Currently the production of the European clam is almost insignificant, nonetheless it is In 2014, the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) was the most economically important species belonging to the Veneridae family, representing 95% of worldwide production (captures and aquaculture) and reaching a 4,264,274 t harvest (FAO 2014). In Europe alone, the Manila clam represented 54% of Veneridae production in 2014 (FAO 2014). The European clam, Ruditapes decussatus is a species with a high commercial importance in Portugal and other Southern European countries. Its production is almost exclusively based on natural recruitment, which is subject to high annual fluctuations. Increased knowledge of the natural reproductive cycle of R. decussatus and its molecular mechanisms would be particularly important in providing MolluscaBase eds. (2024). MolluscaBase. Ruditapes decussata [sic]. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p Briefly, a total of 41,119 contigs of R.decussatus obtained in the previous study (see Leite et al., 2013 for details) were reannotated to design a new version of R. decussatus DNA microarray. The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) was used to perform annotation of R. decussatus contigs.
