Taxonomy The name Panopea abrupta (Conrad, 1849) has long been used for the Recent, commercially harvested geoduck of the North Pacific. However, Vadopalas et al. (2010) have shown that the name should be restricted to a Miocene fossil. The name Panopea generosa is applicable to the Recent species. [details]
