Donax gouldii, common name the Gould beanclam, is a species of small saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusk in the family Donacidae.[1][2]
This species is found on the Pacific coast of North America.[3] This Donax species, known for its periodic population explosions, was eaten by Native Americans in Southern California,[3] particularly the Luiseno and Kumeyaay Indians of San Diego County.
