Welcome to my site about Pintctada maxima, which in other words means pearl clams. This website is not about selling pearls or the clams themselves. It's about getting to know these beautiful creatures better than something you wear around your neck. On this site you would learn all about the ecology, physiology, genetics, and evolution. We'll be going deeper into physiology, to things such as, digestion, gas exchange, reproduction, and development. I hope you enjoy and leave this website going to return your pearls! Hurry and read on, the clams are crying for their pearls.
