This study investigated the proximate composition in the muscle and viscera of five commercially valuable Korean Veneridae, Protothaca jedoensis, Ruditapes philippinarum, Saxidomus purprratus, Cyclina sinensis and Meretrix lusoria. The proximate analysis revealed that the moisture, crude protein and carbohydrate of muscle in higher than viscera. As results, except for the crude lipid and carbohydrate there was little significant differences among the moisture, protein and crude ash. The crude lipid contents was highest in the viscera of Meretrix lusoria , while lowest in the muscle of Ruditapes philippinarum. The carbohydrate content of viscera in the Meretrix lusoria, Ruditapes philippinarum and Protothaca jedoensis were 3.61±0.45%, 3.45±1.4% and 3.39±0.07%, respectively.
