I was just over watching a 100 dollar giant clam in Japan being chopped up and served to a hungry person. I suddenly realized I had no idea how these things reproduce or really anything about them whatsoever? That is why I came here to see how they exist and keep existing so Thank you for showing me

how much does it cost to make a farm like this?

[@keonihillier981]

Depends lol. I'm building a farm outside, it's only going to be growing seed in the summer months. But it only cost a couple hundred bucks for the permits and another couple hundred bucks to build a floating dock area where they can grow
