Although very little consumption has in Turkey, in the EU countries, Japan and other countries is continuously increasing demand. Also, it comes beginning important seafood by collectors because of interesting shells. In the living waters of Striped venus in our country have similar species sometimes confused with this species. These species are "Dosina lupinus, Circomphalus casinus ve Venerupis aurea". The research area will be separated five main regions (Sinop-inceburun, Sinop-Ayancik, Kastamonu-nebolu, Kastamonu-Doganyurt ve Kastamonu-Cide). Studies in each region will be carried out in 0-20 m depth and this depth will be broken down into bottom layer in "0-5 m, 5-10 m, 10-15 m and 15-20 m". Within a year; in the seasonal studies 20- shot and in the summer studies for the stock detection 100-shot totally 140- shot are considered. Besides for the biological samples are planned to one each shooting with grabs from the each depth point. In this study, the development of Chamelea gallina in the western Black Sea (Sinop-Cide), the amount of stock, the distribution of the depths and areas of stocks, the demographic structure of stock and the scanned area, according to the method of area-density, which used the hydraulics dredge in Striped venus fishery by fishermen will be investigated. The shell and age determination will be made for fixing the differences in population growth in between the regions.
