Abstract
    In this article the discovery of a second population of the Ruditapes philippinarum along the Belgian is described. The small population lives on the so called Klein Strand in Oostende, an artificially created beach – embayment. Co-occurring species include Cerastoderma edule, Ensis directus, Venerupis corrugata, Mya arenaria, Spisula subtruncata and Macoma balthica. Such an intertidal assemblage of species is not known elsewhere along the Belgian coast and is because of the particular sheltered condition of this small beach with a sediment of rather coarse sand with mud.
