The hand dredge wedge clam fishery has been regulated by the Andalusian autonomic government since 2008.
trunculus constitutes a very important fishing resource due to its high economic value and has been exploited over the last decades using primarily either artisanal hand-operated dredges (rastros manuales) in shallow water and commercial boat-operated dredges from subtidal to deeper waters. Small scale fisheries represent one of the main types of fisheries occurring in the area with a high socioeconomic importance. Within the framework of the research project VENUS, the aim of this communication is to provide a first insight of the discards associated with the artisanal hand dredging fishery targeting wedge clam Donax trunculus Linnaeus, 1758 in the sandy beaches at littoral of Huelva, in the south west of Spain.
