Giant Clams (Bivalvia: Cardiidae: Tridacninae): A Comprehensive Update of Species and their Distribution, Current Threats and Conservation Status (2017, background): “…production of individuals for the aquarium trade (Heslinga et al. 1990, O’Callaghan 1995, Bell et al. 1997, Heslinga 2013) as well as the restocking of rare species (Neo et al. 2009, 2011, Neo & Todd 2012a, Heslinga 2013) or extirpated populations (Braley & Muir 1995, Gomez & Mingoa-Licuanan 2006).”
Patterns of Symbiodinium distribution in three giant clam species across the biodiverse Bird’s Head region of Indonesia (2012, background): “Tridacnid clams have been successfully farmed and transplanted around the Philippines for over 2 decades (Gomez & Mingoa-Licuanan 2006), and can be raised with different symbionts depending on the inoculates supplied at the larval stage (Fitt & Trench 1981, Fitt 1985, Molea & Munro 1994).”
Advances in Breeding and Rearing Marine Ornamentals (2011, background): “Fortunately, giant clams are one of the best examples of successful restocking programs addressing marine invertebrates (Bell et al. 2005, 2006; Gomez and Mingoa-Licuanan 2006).”
THE DISTRIBUTION AND STATUS OF GIANT CLAMS (FAMILY TRIDACNIDAE) - A SHORT REVIEW (2010, background): “However, as emphasised by Gomez & Mingoa-Licuanan (2006), community involvement is again vital if restocked clams are to be safeguarded.”
