PMDC Technicians harvested ribkungel (T. squamosa) and duadou (H. hippopus) seedlings from raceway tanks E08 & E09. These seedlings were spawned from brood stock in 2021 (ribkungel) and 2022 (duadou).
Fisheries Technician William Jr and Fisheries Specialist Lawrence aggregated the seedlings according to size and collected data on shell length. Most seedlings were within 2.5cm-4cm, highly prized for market and farmer distribution.
Fisheries Specialist II Percy recorded the total amount of seedlings by size and species. He also prepared the invoice to the giant clam farmer for payment at the Giant Clam Gift Shop, operated by Coastal Fisheries Officer Daley.
