Giant clams are subject to heavy predation in the wild. Rearing larvae from eggs to juveniles in tanks, protects them from natural predators. Once they have reached 20-200 millimeters in length, they can be reared in the lagoon in protective containers. Once over 200 millimeters they are reared in the lagoon without protection. The clam farm here is a wonderfully innovative enterprise. The knowledge being gained is already helping restock this area. As farmers develop clam farming technology further it has the potential for restocking tropical reefs worldwide . And by reintroducing giant clams into areas where they were once plentiful, farmers are providing a source of highly prized protein-once the main protein source for island peoples in both Pacific and Indian Oceans.

GIANT CLAMS

Common name for the largest bivalve mollusk in the world, Tridacna gigas, The giant clam may weigh over 500 lb (225 kg) and attain a length of over 4 ft (120 cm). The heavy shell is coarsely fluted and toothed. Giant clams are found in the South Pacific and Indian oceans, especially in the Great Barrier Reef. They lie with the hinge downward in the coral reefs, usually in shallow water. The adductor muscles, which cause the shell to close, are a source of food for people of the South Pacific. The shell closes very slowly; stories of human beings trapped within giant clams have never been substantiated. Small giant clam shells have been used as birdbaths and baptismal fonts. An interesting symbiosis occurs between a unicellular green alga ( Zooanthella ) and the clam. The algae live in the tissues of the clam's siphon and mantle; they are able to obtain the sunlight needed for photosynthesis because the clam lies with its valves opening upward and part of the thick, purple mantle extruding over the shell. In addition, there are crystalloid vesicles on the mantle surface that let in sunlight, thus allowing the algae to live deep within the tissues. The clam uses the algae as a supplementary or perhaps even a major source of food. Tridacna gigas is classified in the phylum Mollusca , class Pelecypoda or bivalvia, order Eulamellibranchia, family Tridacnidae.
