    Pholas dactylus, or common piddock, is a bioluminescent clam-like species of marine mollusc in the family Pholadidae . The piddock bores into the substrate for shelter, and lives in a tubular burrow formed by grinding the material away with hard parts of the shell by rotating on the longitudinal axis.
    Pholas dactylus bores into a wide range of substrata including various soft rocks such as chalk and sandstone, clay, peat and very occasionally in waterlogged wood. Found from the lower shore to the shallow sublittoral. Shell thin and brittle, elliptical in shape with a beaked anterior end and bulbous umbones in anterior third of shell.
    An increase in the organic content of suspended sediment is likely to be beneficial to suspension feeders such as the common piddock. Occurrence of Pholas dactylus has been recorded from silty habitats in north Yorkshire (JNCC, 1999).
    Although Pholas dactylus is edible it is not widely harvested in Britain. In Italy, harvesting of piddocks has had a destructive impact on habitats and has now been banned (E. Pinn pers. comm.). Farming methods are being investigated as an alternative.
