Venerupis largillierti
Venerupis largillierti is a species of marine mollusc, endemic to New Zealand. It is found on all of the main islands and their outlying islets, as well as the Chatham Islands. It was originally described in the genus Venus. It has been found in Tasmania, where it has been introduced. The bivalve is part of a national fishery in Tasmania. Some prehistoric archaeological deposits in midden heaps on Enderby Island in the Auckland Islands show that this species was used as a food source, before the site was abandoned in the 14th century.
