Just watched it and was about to post it when I found your post. Really interesting, a must watch for anyone who wonders why clams are so cheap considering how hard they can be to keep long term.

Disclaimer: the gonad harvesting is not for the faint of heart.

I don't think they have to sacrifice a clam anymore. They use artificial hormones... What a cool video! Thanks!
