Episode 2

A heist on the high seas

“The day in mention, I went out to the two fishing vessels that were in our quarantine zone. We had to remove the clams off that vessel … and I saw them and thought this is going to be challenging.”
​

In this episode, we meet a fisheries officer and a mollusc specialist who reveal how the world’s biggest bivalves came to be in the MAGNT collection. Discover what’s so special about these giant molluscs and why should they be protected.

​

This episode features MAGNT’s Senior Curator of Molluscs, Dr Richard Willan, and Fisheries Officer from Australian Fisheries Management Authority, Paul Seden.
