Researchers had discovered the traditional carnivore-oriented aquaculture will bring about much more loss of the edible marine resources in the form of fish oil, fish meals and trash fish. The promotion of herbivoreoriented, sustainable aquaculture to reduce the demands of animal protein will efficiently to prevent the unreasonable way of business applications.The short-necked clam is provided with those characters such as phyto-plankton feeding, low-investment in daily management, high market price and income. According to the latest statistics of fishery annual report of FA in 2013, Oyster and common hard clam are two major bivalve species for aquaculture in Taiwan. The amounts of production of the two are 27800 and 56700 metric tons while the value are 6.15 and 3.93 billion for each. In this project, reciprocal translocations and stable isotope analyses will help to reveal the mysteries of growth variations between wild and artificially raised individuals.
