Abstract

Aquaculture and enhancing stock density along reef coasts: hitting two birds with one stone. That’s what the culture of giant clam promises. The Philippines is home to seven giant clam species (Tridacna gigas, T. derasa, T. squamosa, T. croces, T. maxima, Hippopus hippopus and H. porcellanus). In 1983, T. gigas and T. derasa were included in the list of endangered species during the convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) to regulate its commercial trade.
