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.

I have seen them before . The folks on the food show had to ask the Prime Minister if they could harvest one! You and your crew have done a fabulous job regrouping the species 🎉. JO JO IN VT 🇺🇲💞

These giant clams plays a role in the environment. It is illegal to get giant clams in the Philippines. It takes years for a guant clam to grow. So please take care of them.

In Sea World San Diego, there’s a humongous giant clam that sits peacefully in a large aquarium. It houses a very large pearl. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I hope more people work to help save this beautiful species from extinction. We all need to do our part to conserve nature and protect it.

I live in Australia & my father owned a charter boat so we visited the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef for years & saw many of these clams in the wild while diving, they really are an amazing part of the life that goes on underwater.

We find smaller ones washed up near the 12 apostles usualy around 20-30cm, I'm guessing they die as it gets too cold? 🤔
They shouldn't be eating them. They filter the waters.
I worked on a boat on The Great Barrier of Australia and witnessed Asian boats gathering our Clams and destroying our reef in the process. Thank you for preserving our valuable resource.

I have half of a giant clam shell that weighs at least 50 lbs. Often, after having to lift and move the thing, I am awe-struck to think how strong the muscle that once lived inside it had to be in order open and close that shell.weldone

Oh my God. I'm very impressed by the size of the Giants and the amazing colors I have seen when in the water. I'm sure happy to see that people are protecting them. They can sell for their tasty meat. 😊Thumbs up to the people who raise them in safe beds. 👍 thank you so much for sharing your experience.
for the information of those who say that they practically do not feel pain, have you noticed how he avoids a simple touch? the whole molusk is essentially a continuous nerve. great video
I find them so beautiful in their environment. No desire whatsoever to eat them.
And when a mommy clam and daddy clam love eachother very much... wwooo video
I didn't see them running very fast, so why say they were catching giant clams......😂. lol. 😂😂😂😂😂
I am in my sixties now, but I can still remember back to my childhood and watching old b&w programs on television. Whenever there was a movie that had a Giant Clam, there would always be a diver for one reason or another that would always be trapped by the Giant Clam. Thank You very much for sharing this video. I enjoyed it..

I eat clam everyday, it is good food
I've seen a lot of food shows. and always had mixed feelings when seeing someone eat a giant clam. Now that I know they are being farmed and not just taking from the wild. I'm okay with it. And yes I know not all will be a farmed clam but the fact someone had the insight to say we need these to last a lifetime and provide money for generations is awesome to see
We need to hybridyze cold water clams so they can get this big. thanks

What a wonderful specimen. I hope it lives many more years and inspires a deep love of the sea in young and old everywhere! Thank you for sharing!nice this video
next time your back you should ask to see some of the private gardens. local palauans collect them and plant them in secret spots for easy access when needed. but just end up collecting for years . giants you wouldnt believe.
Wow, amazing, how plenty,,, thanks for great video
This clam is so fresh and delicious. I live near at the beach and fishing is my familys livelihood eversince and eating fresh clam is one of my favorite. okay like
This is a project that benefits the country and the people
Best way to find bigger clams palawan coron philipines,love this video
Best way to preserve something is to develop a market and sustainable supple chain. Look at how well pigs, chickens, cattle, goats, sheep, corn and wheat do. BTW, do not worry, giant clams are not rare or going extinct extinct. They are wonderful to see in the wild along with corals and fish. Thank you for presenting a well done video on these beautiful animals.
It's amazing how many cool things there are in the world. I really enjoyed this video.
This made me hungry
Very nice video! Thanks for sharing!!! Clams love light!! Sooo nice!

I'm happy giant clams are being restored. I realize these farms wouldn't exist if there weren't some sold for food and proceeds...but at least they sell and use the shell as well, AND put some back into the oceans to restore their populations and reproduce into the oceans, as well as collected for the farms. I love mother of pearl. Same goes for abalone..some do restore populations and the shell is gorgeous.
This was very interesting. I did not know that clans could be so colorful and pretty. Not did i know that the could get so big.
Its good to know that giant clams are being propegated and looked after. Do all things do no harm.

or "males" depending who's around they aren't actually hermaphrodites they do have genders but can switch very very quickly and can be picky or shy
Um they filter the water so your eating any and all pollution in them waters even if it was decides ago. Also they help prevent ocean damage during storms removal of these will arode the beach faster.
Bless you, for the blessings of these miraculous creatures ~ They are absolutely Beautiful! I feel as though a Wonderous Gift, has been bestowed upon me by watching this incredible video! Many blessings to you. ❤
