1 Diving into STEM with Oceanic Research Group Elementary Unit: Focus on STEM with Fish Killer Clams Lesson: Student Resources Concepts: The Lifespan of Overfishing, Symbiotic Relationships, Solar Power Overview: Jonathan goes to Micronesia to find giant clams! Tridacna clams are so big that people used to think they caught people. Jonathan wants to research to learn if the Tridacna clams are really dangerous. Online Resources: Jonathan Bird s Blue World webisode 14 Killer Clams ( Introduction There have been many stories about Tridacna clams, or giant clams. Many of these stories describe how the clams are aggressive towards people and that they try to capture or hurt swimmers. Jonathan heard these myths and legends, and since he is a scientist, he does not assume that these stories are true. He is also very curious, so he wanted to research the clams to see firsthand if these big clams really are threatening to people. So, he investigated where these clams live and went to visit Micronesia. Jonathan first discovers that the Tridacna clams are very popular to eat, and many restaurants serve these clams for lunch and dinner. Jonathan dives to see these Giant Clams in the water, and tests the hypothesis that these clams are treacherous. When Jonathan finally finds a clam, at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, he performs a few tests to see what he can find. He discovers that these Tridacna Clams are becoming scarce. The Tridacna clam takes many years to grow big, and many fishermen catch these clams to sell to the restaurants and fish markets. The clams cannot reproduce quickly, so they are disappearing. Today the Giant Clams are classified as locally extinct or vulnerable. So, as Jonathan discovers, the Tridacna clam is not dangerous to people but actually in danger.

4 Background Tridacna gigas, the giant clam, is usually blue, golden brown, yellow, or green. This clam really is a giant, growing to 4 feet long and weighing over 500 pounds and it can live for more than one hundred years. Each side of the shell is made by the outer edge of the mantle. The shell is fused together at the dorsal surface and encloses the mantle cavity, the fleshy part of the giant clam. The giant clam has two siphons one to suck water in and the other to push water out. Tridacna can squirt a forceful jet of water out of its excurrent siphon by quickly opening and closing its shell. Perhaps one of the most unusual attributes of this clam is that its colorful skin hides a thick layer of zooxanthellae or algae. The zooxanthellae and the clam have a symbiotic relationship. The zooxanthellae make food for the clam using the energy from the sun. The algae feed off the clam s waste. The water the clam sucks through its incurrent siphon brings the tiny algae oxygen and flushes away excess waste materials. Most of the giant clam s nutrients come from the zooxanthellae living under its skin. The giant clam farms its zooxanthellae. the giant clam is neither aggressive nor dangerous; the shell s closing action is actually a defensive response, it closes slowly and not tightly. Since the giant clam can t move, reproduction is done by spawning. Each Tridacna gigas produces sperm and eggs. Through a synchronization process each clam releases either sperm or egg into the water to complete the spawning process. The giant clams release their gametes into the water at the same time, in the hopes there will be enough gametes to fertilize each other. When this event happens, the water looks milky. Giant Tridacna clams on a reef in Kosrae, Micronesia. Tridacna has been historically misunderstood. Some scientific and technical manuals once claimed that the great mollusk had caused deaths. In those days the Tridacna was also known as the killer clam or maneating clam. Older versions of the U.S. Navy Diving Manual gave detailed instructions for releasing oneself from the clams grasp by severing the adductor muscles used to close its shell. We know now that The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) lists Tridacna as vulnerable because its numbers have been greatly reduced by extensive harvesting for food and aquarium trade.

Does anyone have a story/myth/folk tale from their culture about a clam that they would like to share? 2. There is a Native American story called The Gossiping Clams. Has anyone heard of that story? Elementary Unit - Killer Clams: Teacher Resources - Page 8
9 1. What are the effects of overfishing? 1. Q: Where are Tridacna (giant) clams found? Post Viewing Questions & Writing Prompts 2. What happens when a large percentage of a fish species is removed from the ocean? 3. Where does your family get the fish you eat? Does that fishery practice fishing sustainably? 4. Jonathan estimated that the Giant Tridacna clam that he saw was approximately 50 years old and weighed 100 pounds. If that same clam lived to be 75 years old, how much would it weigh? If that same clam lived to be 80 years old, how much would it weigh? 5. Writing prompts: 1. Write your observations about Tridacna clams in your scientific journal. 2. Write any questions you have about clams, solar power, symbiotic relationships and over-fishing that you would like to further research. 3. What ideas/rules/laws do you think should be implemented to prevent the extinction of the Tridacna Clam? Specifically, should the fishermen, restaurant owners, customers all play a role in preserving the Tridacna Clam? What should each of these groups do? Who should enforce these rules? What should the penalty be if they break your rules? 5 W Questions 2. Q: Why are Tridacna clams disappearing from the reefs? 3. Q: What does the Tridacna clam eat? 4.

10 Listening Dictation Fill in Exercise (JONATHAN SWIMMING OVER THE REEF) When I hit the water, I start to for the clam. The reef is beautiful, with coral everywhere. This is a perfect place for a Tridacna. All I have to do is around. (JONATHAN PLAYING WITH THE CLAM) At I see a Tridacna clam! It s grown into the reef so it s a little hard to see. It to my hand movements. That s because it is sensitive to light and when my casts a shadow on it, the retracts to protect itself. This is why thought they were dangerous. Could a clam this actually grab my hand? Well, lets find out. I put my hand into the clam and it closes but the clam can t actually close all the way. See? All my are still there. So much for the killer clam. Elementary Unit - Killer Clams: Student Resources - Page 10
11 Rules: The Economics of Overfishing In this simulation you will become fishermen for the day. Your task is to make as much money as you can during the four years of fishing while at the same time creating a sustainable fishery so you can keep fishing. Remember, when your ocean is depleted of fish you are out of the simulation. Rules: 1. You will be fishing cooperatively in an ocean (a paper plate) with three other fishermen. 2. Touching, tipping, or moving the ocean is not allowed. 3. Each fisherman will be given 2 fishing poles (straws) and a net (a short length of tape) to fish with. Fishing with hands or anything else is not allowed. 4. Place the fish you catch in your boat a paper napkin. Fish that fall out of the boat onto the table do not count! 5. You will be fishing in your ocean for 4 years. Each year you will have 30 seconds to bring in your catch. 6. There are 4 different species of fish in the ocean. The dockside market value for each fish is: Goldfish $3, Cheerios fish $5, Raisin fish $5, and Grape fish $ Each fisherman must earn at least $5 of income annually to stay in business. However, you should try to earn as much money as possible. 8. At the end of each year, the fish have a chance to reproduce. For every pair of the same species of fish left in your ocean, 2 baby fish will be born. 9. Fish need to have food in order to survive. The food web in your ocean is as follows: Goldfish eat seaweed and there is a lot of seaweed in your ocean. Cheerios fish and Raisin fish eat Goldfish; there must be at least 1 Goldfish in the ocean for each of these fish to survive. Grape fish eat both Cheerios fish and Raisin fish; there must be at least 1 Cheerios fish and Raisin fish in the ocean for the Grape fish to survive.
