About Agriopoma morrhuanum (Dall, 1902)
Agriopoma morrhuanum, commonly known as the false quahog, is a species of bivalve mollusc that belongs to the family Veneridae. This species occurs along the Atlantic coast of North America, with its range extending from Prince Edward Island to North Carolina. The false quahog can be told apart from the true quahog, Mercenaria mercenaria, by several traits: it has a thinner, more delicate shell, lacks marginal teeth, and has no purple stain on the inner surface of its shell.
