十年前,我们很高兴庆祝成立30周年一个世界著名的软体动物,威基基海滩水族馆very large and very oldTridacna Gigas巨型蛤。las,在这里我们已经有十年后了,而双壳类动物在四十年的生活中确实勾勒出来,但我们今天得知巨型蛤终于过去了。
这个巨大的tridacna早在1990年,它才13岁,并且一直是威基基水族馆的大使,此后一直在当地的新闻报道中出现,此后一直在欢迎无数访客。很疯狂地认为这种特定的蛤可能是世界上最著名的双壳类动物,并且它是其物种中最广泛的成员,它已经存在,将许多世代的访客介绍给实际上是什么“巨型蛤”!
在通过之前,威基基巨人是迄今为止最古老的Gigas,在囚禁中增长了200磅的重量。Another important detail of the Gigas from Waikiki is that it was one of the earliest giant clams spawned in captivity, coming from a clam farm in Palau way back in 1982. We’d love to learn more about the size of the shells and how big they became over the forty years it grew in a captive reef environment but we’re almost certain that some kind of memorial featuring these shells will eventually be installed at the Waikiki Aquarium.
