| Abstract |
This article presents the first documented record of the fragile file clam, Limaria fragilis (Gmelin, 1791) (Bivalvia: Limidae), in Ras Juddi, Pasni, on the Makran coast in the Northern Arabian Sea. This discovery expands the known distribution of this species in the Northern Arabian Sea contributes to the biodiversity records of Pakistan. Previously, only two species of the family Limidae have been known from Pakistan coastal waters, namely Limea juglandula (Melvill & Standen, 1907) and Lima vulgaris (Link, 1807). |
