DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2020.735023
Abstract: Abstract Inbreeding depression is common, especially in hermaphroditic animals, and causes a decline in biological fitness. To evaluate the effects of inbreeding on giant clams, two by two factorial cross experiments between individuals were conducted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2020.735548
Abstract: Abstract Giant clams are able to grow in oligotrophic tropical marine environments with the aid of photosynthates from its symbiotic zooxanthellae. Therefore, light intensity affects the survival and growth of giant clams, and is one… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.177220
Abstract: ABSTRACT Giant clams (genus Tridacna) are the largest living bivalves and, like reef-building corals, host symbiotic dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodinium) that significantly contribute to their energy budget. In turn, Symbiodinium rely on the host to supply… read more here.
