AB  - In this study population structure of striped venus (<I>Chamelea gallina</I> L., 1758) was investigated between Ak&ccedil;ay and G&uuml;lyal  at the depth of 5-15 m in Ordu`s coastal zone of the Eastern Black Sea in December 2002 and June 2003. Totally 87 operations were conducted with a boat equipped with hydraulic dredge used for commercial clam fishing and sub samples were taken to collect data after each operation. Length-weight distributions and meat yield of 1332 individuals of <I>C. gallina</I> belonging to the stock at the site from Ak&ccedil;ay to Cape &Uuml;nye were calculated. Mean meat yield was found to be 8.04 %. Total weight distributions were between 0.09 g and 5.7 g, while shell lengths were between 6.4 mm and 30 mm. Most of the clam shells were empty and only a few clams were live in all sites, except some parts of the site from Ak&ccedil;ay to Cape &Uuml;nye. Present attitude was discussed according to the results.
