Spanish term or phrase: Navajuela
Se trata de un texto sobre conservas de marisco, tengo latas de navajas y navajuelas. He encontrado en zoología que navajuela es "tagelus dombeii", y en inglés he encontrado bivalved mussels, pero necesito un término que se aproxime más al nombre con el que se puede comercializar este producto.
Muchas gracias

English translation:Jacknife Clam (Tagelus dombeii)
Explanation:
He encontrado este nombre común como referencia a varias especies del género Tagelus en páginas norteamericanas.
En estos casos en que varias especies reciben un mismo nombre común suele ponerse al lado entre paréntesis y en cursiva el nombre científico. En invertebrados (insectos, moluscos, crustáceos, etc.) es muy común esta situación en la que varias especies muy similares tienen un solo nombre vulgar que las engloba a todas.

the bivalve (mussel) Tagelus dombeii


Explanation:
I don't think there is a common name in English for this species. So, I'd simply say 'the bivalve Tagelus dombeii' (with Taglus dombeii in italics), or 'the bivalve mussel Tagelus dombeii'.

# a mollusc with a shell composed of two valves. Each valve is unsymmetrical in most cases, so making bivalves relatively easy to distinguish from brachiopods. Cockles, mussels and oysters are bivalves.
