The offspring of Tridacna gigas are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade.

This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.
Immer wieder geistern die Riff- oder auch Riesenmuscheln als sogenannte Mördermuscheln durch die Literatur. Auch in Filmen werden sie oft immer noch so genannt. Der Name Mördermuschel ist wohl der Tridacna gigas zu verdanken.
