Population parameters are fundamental when a new resource is incorporated into a fishery. Ameghinomya antiqua has recently begun to be collected for commercial purposes on the northwest coast of San Matías Gulf. This work aimed to analyze the population structure and describe the individual growth of A. antiqua specimens from two local populations (El Sótano and Playa Villarino) prior to the beginning of their exploitation. Organisms of each population differed in size and shell weight, as reflected by the general structure and the measures of central tendency. Age structures were also dissimilar: El Sótano presented long-lived individuals (over 18 years old), while the population from Playa Villarino was characterized by individuals younger than 15 years. The species showed an accelerated growth during the first years, reaching 90% of the maximum size at 5 years of age. The estimated maximum age was 26 years. The asymptotic height was greater in Playa Villarino (56.56 mm) than in El Sótano (53.03 mm). These populations have biological and population characteristics that suggest that sustainable management of this species could be carried out by incorporating it into the pool of benthic resources of the artisanal fleet of San Matías Gulf.
