Occurring in a high density on numerous tidal flats on the west coast, Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum is one of the crucial shellfish resources on the west coast of Korea where clams are explored on a commercial scale. Histology has been utilized in monitoring clam populations by providing detailed insights into the health, reproduction, and overall condition of clam populations. This study provides comprehensive guidelines involved in sample processing, tissue slide preparation, digitizing, and subsequent image analysis. These technical details for each step are expected to standardize mollusk tissue research by ensuring accurate and reproducible results for researchers.
