The three Brazilian species with the vernacular name "berbigão".

Summary[edit]

Description
English: On the Brazilian coast, Western Atlantic, there are three species of mollusks that are confused in their popular names, being called berbigão (Google Translate gives the name cockle in comparison).[1] Through this translation it is possible to know that's the real berbigão (pronounce berbigown) is the largest mollusk in this photograph, called Dallocardia muricata (Linnaeus, 1758)[2]. On the coasts of Europe the berbigão is Cerastoderma edule (Linnaeus, 1758)[3], from the same family (Cardiidae).[4]

The other two species, smaller and also known as berbigão in Brazil, are mollusks of the Veneridae family that are called Anomalocardia flexuosa (Linnaeus, 1767)[5] - left - and Tivela mactroides (Born, 1778)[6] - right. The three species listed are edible and are often sold or harvested for consumption.
