Assessment of the juvenile vulnerability of symbiont-bearing giant clams to ocean acidification

Jun Li et al.

Summary: The study found that juvenile symbiont-bearing giant clams show tolerance to moderate ocean acidification, but have sensitivity in their calcification physiology. This is reflected in reduced net calcification rate, as well as declines in symbiont photosynthetic yield and zooxanthellae density.

Summary: This study reveals that CgCaLP in Pacific oysters enhances calcium deposition and plays a vital role in the compensation strategy against acidified ocean by responding to elevated CO2 levels.

Giant clam growth in the Gulf of Aqaba is accelerated compared to fossil populations

Daniel Killam et al.

Summary: The study revealed that modern giant clams grow faster than Holocene and Pleistocene specimens, possibly due to increased deposition of isotopically light nitrate aerosols in the modern era. Additionally, colder winter temperatures and past summer monsoons may have suppressed the growth of fossil giant clams. Giant clams can serve as sentinels of reef environmental change, indicating the health status of both individual clams and the reefs they inhabit.

Conserving threatened species during rapid environmental change: using biological responses to inform management strategies of giant clams

Sue-Ann Watson et al.

Summary: Giant clams are threatened by overexploitation for human consumption, valuable shells, and the aquarium trade, as well as rapid environmental changes including climate change, global warming, marine heatwaves, and ocean acidification. International efforts need to urgently reduce carbon dioxide emissions to avoid lethal and sub-lethal effects of global change on giant clams. Understanding the biological responses of giant clams to various stressors and implementing conservation strategies could improve the prospects for these charismatic megafauna in the future.

Effects of elevated temperature and pCO2 on the respiration, biomineralization and photophysiology of the giant clam Tridacna maxima

Chloe Brahmi et al.

Summary: The study investigated the physiological responses of Tridacna maxima to temperature and pCO(2) conditions predicted for French Polynesian lagoons in 2100. Results showed that both temperature and pCO(2) had negative impacts on the physiology of the giant clams, affecting oxygen production, symbiont photosynthetic yield, and shell growth rate. The findings suggest that the current environmental conditions may pose a threat to the survival of T. maxima in the future.
