gooey duck
The Geoduck (gooey duck), Panopea suddenly, saltwater Clam type is very large, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Hiatellidae.
The Clam shell the world, approximately 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) more than 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) long, but extremely long siphons make the clam itself much longer than this: the neck "" or traps but can be 1 meter (3.3 ft) long.
The unusual name derived from Lushootseed Clam (Nisqually) g ʷ ídəq word meaning "dig deep", and its phonemically counterintuitive spelling is likely the result of the poor rather than something trascríobh with ducks. Alternate Spellings include goiduck gweduc, and gweduck. It is also known as the Clam King, or when literally translated from Chinese characters, the elephant trunk clam.
Native to the north west coast of the United States and Canada (primarily in Washington and British Columbia), the Geoduck is the largest clam in the world burrowing, weighing on average one to three pounds (0.5-1.5 kg) at maturity, but there are copies of more than 15 pounds (7.5 kilograms), and up to 2 meters (6 ft) in length unheard [edit]. A related species, Panopea zelandica, is available in New Zealand and harvest on a commercial basis since 1989. The highest quantities coming from The Bay in the South Island, where harvest was 100 tons in one year.
Geoducks is one of the organisms living longest in the animal kingdom. They are the life expectancy of about 146 years, with the oldest recorded at over 160 years. Speculate scientists that the world spent the result of low geoduck. The Geoduck water sucks plankton down through its long siphon, filters it for food and ejects its refuse out through a separate opening in the trap. Adult Geoducks has little natural enemies, which may also contribute to their lives. In Alaska, sea otters and dogfish have been capable of dislodging the geoducks; starfish also attack and feed on the exposed siphon Geoduck.
Geoducks are broadcast spawners. Geoduck a female produces about 5 billion eggs in its first long-lifetime produces a relative, a female of about 500 people a viable ova during their lives. Rebound However, because of the low rate of recruitment and high mortality of eggs Geoduck, post-settled larvae and young peoples slowly. In Puget Sound, studies show that the recovery time of harvest 39 year contract.
