There's no doubt that the Moon is more than a handy night light and a hair restorer for werewolves. It's responsible for the substantial amplitude of earthly ocean tides. These are of obvious influence if you're a geoduck, a type of clam that people dig up at low tide.

WHAT DOES GEODUCK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

geoduck

Geoduck

The geoduck, scientific name Panopea generosa, is a species of very large, edible, saltwater clam in the family Hiatellidae. The common name is derived from a Lushootseed word gʷídəq. The geoduck is native to the west coast of North America. The shell of the clam ranges from 15 centimetres to over 20 centimetres in length, but the extremely long siphons make the clam itself much longer than this: the "neck" or siphons alone can be 1 metre in length. The geoduck is both one of the largest clams in the world, and one of the longest-lived animals of any type. As adults they have very few predators other than humans.
