The growth of short neck calms, Tapes philippinarum was compared between two areas, Songdo in Kamak Bay and Sudo in Chinhae Bay from April 1999 to March 2000. The short neck clams in Kamak bay grew from 13.84±0.04 mm to 35.43±1.22 mm in shell length, while those in Chinhae bay grew from 13.84±0.04 mm to 31.91±1.72 mm in 12 months. Shell height, shell breadth and total weight of the short neck clams in Kamak bay were also greater than those from Chinhae bay. Bottom quality of Chinhae bay showed negative skewness, and that of Kamak bay was positive skewness of Chinhae bay seems to be caused by the effect of strong tidal current. This may indicate that Kamak bay is better area than Chinhae bay for the culture of the short neck clams.
