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

AWESOME video! Loved how you captured it all. The weather looked hot! Most likely very humid and..... clammy. ;)
The king of DIY haha. Joey got jokes
Joey you don't have time to watch videos! get that fish house finished! lol
Ahahahahahaaaa 😩😫😫😑😑
Oh my god 🤦♂️ 😆
Wow.... that was beautiful. This is the kind of operation that's both environmentally sustainable AND profitable. Not to mention they're really delicious!
youtube put this video on my dashboard 3 times within a year. The only one I would actually watch over and over again! love clams! good work!
That level of blue/green is so intense! Very beautiful.
its great that places like this exist! Hopefully there will be many more facilities like this in the future
How does this not have millions of views... Thanks for this amazing content.
Thanks for Filming the facility and those amazing Clams!! 😍

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.

Awesome work by Jake, Reef Builders, and PMDC!
Super cool Jake! Thanks for sharing and keep them coming. That bicolor clam was truly unique! --VIP Reef
Fantastic...breathtaking...pure joy, thankyou so much for making this video, I want all of them now 😍😍
That place is absolutely amazing. Do you think the water quality around the island has an impact on how well the clams are doing?
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.
truly an awesome video Jake. I am in awe.
Very nice video! Thanks for sharing!!! Clams love light!! Sooo nice!
Super nice! Those guys are doing a great job! 👍👍👍

Awe man! I miss those clams behind my house! Sel sashimi el oreuer!
Very cool so nice to see all those clams
They started with a few puddling pools. They’ve done really well.
So precious..This is actually paradise on earth 🎉🎉❤❤😢
Could you provide a raw video link it would be great to see the clams and reefs in greater detail without youtube compression
A clam living inside a clam. That was pretty cool to see
Great and informative video, thanks for sharing!
Can you do video about clam grade? How can you tell is first gold or ultra grade?
These are so beautiful! I really appreciate this video
awesome video. I also love clams, what does the clam farm feed the clams?
Zales man was in that water. I just saw one at my screen looks exactly like that even Google said it.
Super movie.i love super clams
Cool now you can do a bunch of artaeum takeaway broth!!

Food industry and aquariums ..

They dont let go!
Wonderful
Excellent & unique video.
Amazing. I had never seen a anything close to that in terms of clams.
I got some in my tank but this is amazing!!!!!
Awesome adventure and awesome clams
Man that's nuts! Makes you want to buy a clam!
hello sir!
you might wanna visit Camiguin Island in the Philippines. they have the biggest calms! like BIG BIG!
over 100K clams, imagine the street value of that.
its a small niche, not enough buyers.
I have a giant pearl or giant clams need buyers
good day! Please tell me how you can write to this center?
What are they used for...what do they feed the clams?
check also GIANT CLAMS in the PHILIPPINES go to north and see BOLINAO,PANGASINAN PHILIPPINES
This was an amazing video, thank you for sharing this! Liked and subbed 💪🏽
I love clams too, very interesting vid!
gorgeous creatures.
that was awesome you the man you the man
Love it uso thanks for video
Awesome video! By the way where did you purchase your shirt?
Very nice!
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!?!?!
Jake, tu m'énerve avec tes vidéos !!! En plus j'en veux juste 1 et là c'est pas possible ...🤔🤨😀😆😂
Bravo !!!
Hey! Where did you find this guy. It would be awesome if I could buy from him in the future
How does the breeding process work?
It's crazy they consume these beautiful clams. I wouldn't think there is much meat to consume once they close up
andeyking they usually eat tangs and other fish in the trade also
Same goes for them. You're not going to get much of a fillet from a yellow tang!

How old are they when theyre huge?How long do they live? Thanks for the great vid !
I know some clams in the wild live around 200 years
Nice t-shirt :)
Thanks for the vid.
Absolutely beautiful brother 😎
conversation : you guy's have such a variety of clams ......... jajajajajaja

Hi What is the cost for clams in palao
I came watching this video !!
i wonder how much those blue eyed giant clams cost.

What is the background music after 10min ?
Bee hives in the background at the end of the video?
I should call her
Can I know who did you contact? PMDC staff? I am very interested in Tridacna species, for its unique self-sustaining feature.:)
I have a giant pearl or giant clams need buyers
So jealous. You're living the dream.
Spectacular

Clamgasm
Imagine the hurricane irma
What if you step in one
SNAP! and they hold on(They dont let go!)
Là nature est bien faite
👍👍👍
👍👍
👍
👍👍👍
Would these produce perals?
yes but its rare... oysters are better at producing pearls but when clams produce pearls its higher quality than oysters making it more expensive
I have a giant pearl or giant clams need buyers
They can literally attack, and drown divers. I seen it before on tv.
closing on them you mean?
@@shelbyrice1014 Swim after them and eat thems what I'm talking. Mmm Hmm.
@@kevinchamberlain7928 mean ones
@@shelbyrice1014 Mean? They behave like animals! You know, the vicious type?
@@kevinchamberlain7928 yes,when people try to get the pearls then they get stuck,because they close on their arm or foot,and they wont let go!
