The fluted giant clam - Tridacna squamosa - was once an abundant feature of the Indo-Pacific region and an essential resource for Pacific islanders, but it was also historically revered as a ‘killer clam’. Sadly, today these clams have been reduced to cripplingly low numbers in the wild by human activity. |
