Bivalvia is a globally significant seafood resource, and the increasing international trade due to Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) is expected to lead to the influx of various foreign species into the domestic market. This study was conducted to proactively address the potential threats that this increasing import trend may pose to the domestic marine ecosystem and market. We analyzed the import status of Bivalvia in Korea over the past five years and extensively surveyed relevant literature and databases to establish a list of 617 potentially imported foreign Bivalvia species. Furthermore, we aimed to prevent confusion in the import and distribution process and enhance consumers' right to know by establishing a standardized Korean naming system based on scientific names.The results of the study revealed that new Korean names were assigned to 296 species, and existing names were revised for 9 species, with the families Veneridae and Pectinidae being identified as major expected import species. This study is expected to contribute to providing scientific fundamental data for the systematic management of foreign Bivalvia and the sustainable development of the fisheries industry.
