The police said 127 pieces of fossilized Manlot or

The bureau started planning the entrapment operation in December last year after receiving information that certain individuals from Tarlac were looking for buyers of pearls and giant clams locally known as Taklobo (scientific name:

To determine the characteristics of Symbiodinium that improve the symbiosis rate of giant clams (
Tridacna crocea and
Tridacna maxima), we conducted experiments simulating a typical Japanese seed production method that rears giant clams in unsterilized seawater with no food or antibiotics.
They took detail measurements of light inside the clams,
Tridacna derasa, T.
The primary burial(s) are apparently Neolithic, with ground stone and
Tridacna spp.
Benzie and Williams (1992) have also reported little differentiation among GBR populations of the giant clam
