Lot 10 - Photos of Thai shellfish and fruit

Featured Replies

These are the last 2.

Could someone possibly help me to identify them?

Thank you all for your help.

#1 looks like blood cockles to me, Anadara granosa. In Thai หอยแครง - HOY KHRENG.

Dear AyG,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I think you're right. They certainly do look like blood cockles (หอยแครง - HOY KHRENG).

For some reason, I have 3 different scientific names for these in my dictionary:

Anadara granosa (same as you)

Anadara broughtonii

Tegillarca granosa

Two of them could be synonyms. I will check up on them now and post the result later.

Thanks again for your help.

Dear AyG,

Thank you for that. You saved me some time. I started looking it up and found a new shellfish which was not in my dictionary, so I got a bit side-tracked:

HOI CHAK TIN (หอยชักตีน) - dog conch, wing shell (Laevistrombus canarium, Strombus canarium)

I will remove Andara broughtonii.

Much appreciated.

Dear AyG,

I worked out why I had included Andara broughtonii in my list.

It is the Japanese version of the blood cockle and is called a grey cockle (translated direct from the Japanese), which is a type of blood cockle. Sometimes these become confusing.

All corrected now.

#1. I concur with AyG and your assessment of หอยแครง.

#2. I believe these are ส้มเขียวหวาน (sohm khiao waan). Sweet green orange. They may have varying degrees of orange and green coloration.

Dear Pla shado,

Thank you for that information.

I will identify #2 as SOM KHIAO WAN (ส้มเขียวหวาน). My list indicates it as:

English name: tangerine, Thai (originally, I indicated it as a mandarin, however after re-checking, I find that more reliable sites indicate it as a tangerine (wiki seems not reliable in this case).

Scientific name: Citrus reticulata blanco

I have also added a note, stating that the colour of the skin ranges from yellow-orange to green.

Thanks for your help with this and all the previous photos.
