The pic is too small to see clearly and ID. I suggest getting a guide to local fish and shellfish, and then at the least you can mark it's location on the bottom, and look it up. Then, if legal, go grab it, check for size, and avoid a costly mistake.
CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME REGULATIONS 2010 -2011

"29.20" Except as provided for - There are no closed season, bag limits, or size on Saltwater Clams.



I am familiar with all of the other clams mentioned in the Regs ..... It was just this one I wasn't familiar with. Thanks for your concern though.
