The giant Clam is an enormous sea-dwelling mollusc that despite being a common sight on the coral reefs of Koh Chang is actually one of the most endangered species of clam. It is also, yet again for Koh Chang, the world’s largest bivalve mollusc and individuals have beem recorded with weights of up to 200km and measuring 1.2 metres across. that’s a lot of chowder!
