Solen sp. has grown to be a significant and economically valuable resource, particularly for the residents of Pamekasan, Madura Island; therefore, overfishing occurs if it is only used for natural purposes. The purpose of this research is to ascertain the density and environmental parameters of Solen sp around the Pamekasan southern coast. In September 2024, the study was required a descriptive methodology. Solen sp and environmental factors (temperature, salinity, pH, and substrate) served as the research materials. The gravimetric approach was used for the substrate analysis at the Oceanography Laboratory, Department of Marine and Fisheries, University Trunojoyo Madura. The results showed 1) Solen sp density of 8-12 individuals/m2 and 2) environmental parameters, including temperature 29-33°C, salinity 31-33 ppt, pH 7.9-8.2, and substrate type of sandy mud. The density of Solen sp is thought to be related to environmental parameters that are still in accordance with sea water quality standards for marine biota, so that it becomes a habitat for growth and development of Solen sp. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2026.
