Pohnpei Clams (Bivalvia)

This page links to photos of clams (phylum Mollusca, class Bivalvia) that we have photographed on several short dive trips to Pohnpei, Micronesia. Clams make up a fairly large group, and we did not specifically seek out clams to photograph, so this page represents only a small sample of the species that would be expected to live in the area. We welcome corrections at uwkwaj@yahoo.com.

The thumbnails below link to pages with additional, larger photographs.
