Amazing Giant Clams Farm - Fishermen Harvest Millions of Giant Clams This Way

Harvest Giant Clam - Tridacna gigas - Fishermen Harvest Millions of Giant Clams This Way
Have you ever seen these giant giant clams? At first glance, they look very much like coral reefs on the seabed, but in fact these are giant giant clams that can reach a weight of up to 500kg. So are these giant clams considered seafood or not and how do people harvest them? We invite you to explore with us in today's video.
Giant clams, true to their name, we can easily recognize them by their very large size, can be up to 1.3 meters long, with an average weight of more than 250kg. They are slow-growing, long-lived creatures and the world's largest living bivalve. They are found in tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

It was about pretending to care about the future of giant clams. But actually, doing all they can to eat them and make a buck off of them. You're welcome.

Giant clams are important for coral reef health as they recycle nutrients.

[@TonyFarmUs]

Is that true or not?

I cut my fingertips in Australia when snorkeling in Shark Bay. I was not aware of the sharp cartridge on the edge of the gaint clam. Was swiping my hand thru the water over the clam to watch it close. Thankful 🙏 was a serious injury.

[@TonyFarmUs]

yes, You should be careful when handling it

[@TonyFarmUs]

thanks so much! happy new year

[@alfonsosoriano171]

We used to eat giant clams every week, and it was the most delicious seafood you can have. First thing to do is to remove the bile so the meat won't get bitter. Nowadays, the local divers can hardly find any of it anymore. Before it would only cost us USD1.00 - USD2.00 for the normal size.

[@TonyFarmUs]

yes, great mussel soup, Nutritious without being boring

Agreed. Too repetitive. When talking there is no need for it. Otherwise very informative.

[@oneshotme]

How long does it take to grow them from small to selling size??

[@BDCF100]

You might define that a bit . One could sell them from a 5# up to a 450# size. As far as I learned about Tridacna Gigas there isn't but a small percentage of that great weight that is eaten. The adductor muscle like in a scallop. Back in the 80's and 90's when i was spending a great deal of my time in the water of the South Pacific I would find the shells open empty on the bottom. The Chinese were killing th e great bi-valve just for that muscle and left 98% or so of the animal on the bottom.
