Impact assessment of giant clam research in the Indo-Pacific region

This impact assessment of giant clam research in the Indo-Pacific region is a valuable historical compendium of the ACIAR sponsored work undertaken over 25 years. The authors have drawn together a wide-ranging evaluation of the work from biological, ecological and socioeconomic perspectives. There is no doubt that the work has led to the establishment of a vast body of knowledge about giant clam biology, markets, and culturing techniques that has contributed to ongoing efforts to conserve the species and continued research capacity in the Indo-Pacific.
