當你想到藍色深海時，你可能馬上會想到鯨魚或是珊瑚礁。但留點空間給巨蚌吧，牠們是世界上還存活的最大軟體類動物。這些很了不起的生物可以活到一百歲，長到 4.5 英呎長，重量跟三頭幼象加起來一樣重。在這場迷人的演說中，海洋生物學家梁玫霖告訴我們，她為什麼會如此著迷於將這些傳奇海洋生物變成海洋的英雄。

巨蚌的迷人秘密生活

Giant clams, the largest living shellfish, can grow up to four and a half feet and weigh as much as three baby elephants. Far from the dangerous monsters of legend, these gentle giants help build reefs, filter water, and provide shelter for marine life. Overfishing and the ornamental trade have pushed more than half their wild population toward extinction. Their survival is tightly linked to the health of coral reefs, making their protection crucial for marine ecosystems.
