Calyptogena (Archivesica) soyoae - Biological Information System for Marine Life

Calyptogena soyoae is a vesicomyid clam first described based on the morphology of dead-shell specimen (Okutani, 1957), and later found living at 1000-1130 m depths in Sagami Bay, Japan. The large thickened shell is elongated-oval shape in outline and reaching to 13 cm in length. Calyptogena soyoae is a member of chemosynthesis-based communities, housing symbiotic bacteria in the gill tissue, and has recorded around cold-water seeps in Sagami Bay. Kojima et al. (2004) indicated that the nucleotide sequence of a mitochondrial gene (COI) of C. soyoae is identical with that of the eastern Pacific species C. kilmeri, meaning that C. kilmeri is a junior synonym of C. soyoae and trans-Pacific migrations of the species exist.
