    An outstanding hitchhiker.

    In our aquaculture business we are receiving shipments on a weekly basis from several sources. I’m always looking for the unusual and unsuspected hitchhiker. I’ve shared them with you because I find the little things in life the most fascinating. Mother Nature keeps me in awe with this latest hitchhiker.

    In a small order came a 7” Maxima clam. It was closed up tight but I could see it was a beauty. After acclimating the clam, I gently placed it in one of the raceways to get a better view of the coloration and pattern of the fleshy lobe. There, much to my surprise was Mother Natures handy work.



    A one inch baby clam was imbedded into the shell of the large clam. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

    Shot taken with my smart phone. I’ll get better pics later when the clams settle in.

    Good Luck comes to those who research and prepare.
