    FYI The fish carcas @10:37 is a member of the boxfish/cowfish family - Tetrosomus sp. .... looks like a Camel cowfish (Tetrosomus gibbosus) but not sure if it's found where you are, so could also be a Triangular boxfish, (Tetrosomus concatenatus).

What are the regulations for harvesting the "Giant clams" i know in some parts of the world its allowed and some it isn't. I do know that the meat that comes out of those clams is Amazing to eat.
