Sexing clams?

Possible?

I saw something on TV a few months ago how they induce them into spawning.

They use certain anti-depressant meds to trigger a mass spawn in clam culture tanks. I have no idea who figured that out or how they discovered it but it has been documented. Should be easy to find with a quick search.

According to the article they are hemaphrodites ejecting both sperm and eggs during a spawning.
