This regulation updates the minimum conservation reference size for Venus shells (clams) in specific Italian territorial waters. It allows for a temporary exception to standard EU size limits to better align with local biological conditions and sustainable fishing practices.

This change primarily affects commercial fishers and shellfish harvesters operating in the designated Italian maritime zones, ensuring that undersized shells are protected to maintain healthy populations.
