Hard to watch these amazing videos that pop up in my feed knowing such an amazing person is no longer with us, RIP my reef homie...thank you for all you did for the hobby.

[@thekingofdiy]

AWESOME video! Loved how you captured it all. The weather looked hot! Most likely very humid and..... clammy. ;)

[@jmenotfound7497]

Mr. Ngirailild is one of the most knowledgeable people about clam cultivation and all of the various species, he has since retired after decades of work as the center manager at PMDC. Congratulations to Mr. Ngirailild for his work and dedication to mariculture sustainability. Thank you, as well, for showcasing PMDC and sharing these beautiful Palau clams with your viewers! 👏 👏

[@FoxyfloofJumps]

Wow.... that was beautiful. This is the kind of operation that's both environmentally sustainable AND profitable. Not to mention they're really delicious!

[@jdavidp66]

Super cool Jake! Thanks for sharing and keep them coming. That bicolor clam was truly unique! --VIP Reef

[@Sysgen]

I have no words for the beauty of those clams! Being a newbie I didn't know that we could keep clams in our aquariums. I hope to have some in mine down the road. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@RubenGomezRealestate]

Super nice! Those guys are doing a great job! 👍👍👍

[@algawura2]

This would be one of my dream trips. Great information on the mariculture process. If they let me in the water over there snorkeling I would be in the water for hours. I can't wait to get some clams in my 1600 gallon system once it's completed.

[@ngirabedechal]

next time your back you should ask to see some of the private gardens. local palauans collect them and plant them in secret spots for easy access when needed. but just end up collecting for years . giants you wouldn't believe.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Aw man, going to have to connect with you next time I'm there so you can show me these secret clam gardens - good to know.

[@anthony5786]

This was an amazing video, thank you for sharing this! Liked and subbed 💪🏽

[@sosmra]

Very cool so nice to see all those clams

[@huntergreer98]

it would be really cool if you did a similar video on the coral farms in Malaysia and Australia that are in the ocean. Ive only seen brief videos of them on facebook groups but they have like fields and fields of hammers and torches.

[@meadomeado]

I love clams too, very interesting vid!

[@JC-bs2ov]

Excellent & unique video.

[@pelesasatiumalu4649]

Love it uso thanks for video

[@terripackard9292]

Those are gorgeous.

[@FranklinDattein]

Amazing. I had never seen a anything close to that in terms of clams.

[@cubanreefer1582]

Awesome adventure and awesome clams

[@Dacejave27]

I got some in my tank but this is amazing!!!!!

[@feedthatreefaddiction1508]

Man that's nuts! Makes you want to buy a clam!

[@madfishdiva]

That place is absolutely amazing. Do you think the water quality around the island has an impact on how well the clams are doing?

[@RiKardoSantos7]

Nice t-shirt :) Thanks for the vid.

[@Coralhead_]

where can u buy the butterfly shirt?

[@CharlesNewkirk-lb6uh]

Amazing that they were smart enough to understand the extinction of the species due to overfishing and decided to do something about it. A great aquaculture endever!!!!

[@DEEPSKYWATCHERDSW]

Super movie.i love super clams

[@silasmayes7954]

Could you provide a raw video link it would be great to see the clams and reefs in greater detail without youtube compression

[@pat7777100]

that was awesome you the man you the man

[@TimNye850]

Very nice!

[@tallyjra]

thank you so much,so how do they eat those clams?

[@rolandoesling6587]

Visit Silaki Island in Pangasinan, Philippines. It has the largest concentration of giant clams and still growing in the surrounding sea of that island. More than 35,000 thousands in that island alone.

[@vintage1950]

They started with a few puddling pools. They’ve done really well.

[@omarjaved9748]

Wonderful

[@volteface69]

Jake, tu m'énerve avec tes vidéos !!! En plus j'en veux juste 1 et là c'est pas possible ...🤔🤨😀😆😂 Bravo !!!

[@Seattlekoi]

[@zoram671]

[@medicos-il]

[@cosmic_run]

Zales man was in that water. I just saw one at my screen looks exactly like that even Google said it.

[@onetwocue]

How does the breeding process work?

[@carolyndiliberto27]

What are they used for...what do they feed the clams?

[@astrotemplegems]

good day! Please tell me how you can write to this center?

[@fredd4438]

[@Ab20222]

Spectacular

[@BillyPipes]

[@mvku3218]

[@DragosDomnara]

Hey! Where did you find this guy. It would be awesome if I could buy from him in the future

[@berkaycet6720]

What is the background music after 10min ?

[@LMDAVE29]

over 100K clams, imagine the street value of that.

[@alexvids9232]

its a small niche, not enough buyers.

[@dansoi7654]

I have a giant pearl or giant clams need buyers

[@rhombifer566]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@darachan8384]

Clamgasm

[@santallum]

Food industry and aquariums .. I would have thought the shells would be worth bucks too ? but the sea floor here is just littered with them and it looks like they are just left there ?

[@SimpIeton1]

It's baffling that such insanely efficient farming isn't marketed to the whole world. The clams on their own were endangered before humans knew how to farm them. They can now afford to throw fertile loads into the ocean just to offset entire human history's worth of poaching.

[@leodegarioversoza3941]

check also GIANT CLAMS in the PHILIPPINES go to north and see BOLINAO,PANGASINAN PHILIPPINES

[@neuwave1]

So jealous. You're living the dream.

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

i wonder how much those blue eyed giant clams cost.

[@Izaboooo]

ooooh!!!

[@Racer-M]

man think about shopping for your one giant clam youre going to put in your tank and you get to go there and pick... like WHAT!?!?!

[@akvasvet]

👍👍👍 👍👍 👍

[@Arie_Idaho_Reef]

Wow

[@zgoullibechir3836]

Là nature est bien faite

[@salted_mangoes]

Imagine the hurricane irma

[@cakeatstake5103]

What if you step in one

[@shelbyrice1014]

SNAP! and they hold on(They dont let go!)

[@TheKristina-pz3dq]

💟🐚This guy LOVES clams- It's cute ☺️

[@DragosDomnara]

Would these produce perals?

[@apdroidgeek1737]

yes but its rare... oysters are better at producing pearls but when clams produce pearls its higher quality than oysters making it more expensive

[@netoboreto1749]

Please song name

[@user-vf8hy1gl1k]

Can I know who did you contact? PMDC staff? I am very interested in Tridacna species, for its unique self-sustaining feature.:)

[@dansoi7654]

I have a giant pearl or giant clams need buyers

[@coleweede1953]

I NEED to go to this place. Possible internship?

[@CahnDalan310]

Kima hewan laut mengagumkan

[@andeyking]

It's crazy they consume these beautiful clams. I wouldn't think there is much meat to consume once they close up

[@feedthatreefaddiction1508]

andeyking they usually eat tangs and other fish in the trade also

[@andeyking]

Same goes for them. You're not going to get much of a fillet from a yellow tang!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

This farm wouldn't exist if clams weren't a viable source of cultured food. The giant clams, especially Hippopus and Derasa clams are an important source of protein for many islanders, at least in Palau most of the clam meat they eat is farm-raised.

[@ghgghgyuhkljjijijui]

How old are they when theyre huge?How long do they live? Thanks for the great vid !

[@Ocelot2000]

I know some clams in the wild live around 200 years

[@bovice1766]

I should call her

[@theblindreefer8718]

u are so luck i live in the uk love clams got 2

[@Matt-dc8lp]
