Information on the distribution of large bivalves of the genus Middendorffi naia in Primorsky Krai has been clarifi ed. Both species of the genus are listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation: Middendorffi naia mongolica (Middendorff , 1851) and M. sujfunensis Moskvicheva et Starobogatov, 1973. Currently known populations of these species are listed, along with an assessment of their condition. A reduction in the number and area of distribution of the species is demonstrated. The main threats and ways for the Middendorffi naia species conservation in Primorsky Krai are discussed.
