The scientists at Gettysburg College aren't trying to treat the clams for depression, but they are giving them Prozac.

When clams are fed antidepressants it induces sperm or egg production, and if the clams are already pregnant it will induce birth.

The purpose? Higher clam production would be beneficial to clam farmers.", "Hidden in its Shell:

Ark clam shells take on the color of their surroundings. When ark clams lay at the bottom of the ocean, it is hard to distinguish them from the stones beneath because they perfectly match their environment.

There are 200 different types of Ark clams of different sizes, shapes, and habitats.", "Law of the Clam:

According to law, before soft-shelled clams can be harvested, they must be at least 2 inches long.

Soft-shells can grow to be five inches long; however, most clams are harvested as soon as they reach their limit.

The majority of clams can be expected to be between 2-3 inches in length.", "Hanging Out:

The bodies of soft-shells hang out of the shell part of the way. Even inside their shells, they are so delicate they can be broken open with only a little pressure.", "Better With Age:

Black clams become incredibly powerful as they age. When black clams are young, they are unbelievably fragile and fish are able to destroy their thin, tiny shells and eat them.

After the black clams become adults, only two predators, wolf fish (their most common predator) and starfish, can crush or pry open their shells to eat them.", "Clams Have Feet?

The byssal gland produces a thread-like material called byssus, which anchors some clams to sand and rocks. Not all clams have a byssal gland.

Instead, they use their wedge-shaped foot to burrow into the bottom of the ocean. The foot can expand and contract as it moves the clam along the bottom of the ocean.", "Long Live the Clam!

The Manila clam can live up to 14 years--quite a long life for a clam! The average size of these tiny clams, which live in waters off the coast of Asia and the Japanese islands, is around 3 inches.

In Japan, they are known as the 'Japanese little neck,' and have been harvested for centuries for food.", "Big and Delicious:

The most popular commercial clam (for food) is the Oceanic surf clam. They are the biggest clams harvested along the eastern Atlantic coast of the United States, with a minimum size of 8 inches.

In the past, few years between 41 and 63 million pounds of oceanic surf clams have been sold in the United States alone!", "Lucky Number Seven:

There are approximately seven different names for soft-shell clams, including the manninose, the piss-clam, the long neck clam, the belly clam, the softshell clam, the ispwich clam, and the steamer clam.", "Who Needs a Shell, When a Shell Can Be Broken?

The soft-shell clam has a calcium enriched protective shell, but it is still very easy to bend and break.

The soft-shell is most commonly found along the coast of New England and along Canada's eastern shores.", "Clam Confusion:

There is truly no biological classification system for the clam.

In order to be considered a clam, a species need only be oval-shaped, have two shells on either side of their body, and they must not be scallops, oysters, or mussels.

Because clams are so broadly defined as a group, many species look very different from one another.", "Beautiful and Bashful:

Bear Paw Clams can grow to be 18 inches long! These mollusks are a green-brown or yellow-green color and some have orange-red splotches on their shells.

Sadly, these beautiful creatures spend much of their adult life in the wild burrowing in the sand.", "Big and Beautiful:

Fluted Clams can grow up to 16 inches long! These popular aquarium animals typically have white shells, but can also be yellow, pink, or orange in color!

Some have brown or gold mantles (a part of the shell) with blue-green splotches or stripes.", "What's in a Name?

The term 'clam' has no taxonomic significance in biology, but is commonly used in reference to any bivalve (a mollusk with two symmetrical shells) that is not an oyster, mussel, or a scallop, and that oval shape."];
