This animal was maintained in an outdoor tank and received direct sunlight. Shadows were monitored by a photocell clamped near the edge of the shell. Stimulus monitor (SM) traces indicate the onset of shadows and a light tactile brushing of the siphon (arrow) in the bottom record. Traces are numbered according to shadows presented at two-minute intervals. Valve adductions were recorded for seven consecutive stimuli but did not occur in response to six additiona

RMRHJYM2–. The biology of marine animals. Marine animals; Physiology, Comparative. ASSOCIATIONS 615 genera are involved, Hippopus and Tridacna, of which the giant clam T. derasa sometimes attains a length of nearly one and a half metres. Immense numbers of zooxanthellae are present in these animals, and are housed chiefly in the inner lobes of the mantle-edges on the dorsal side of the body, but zooxanthellae also occur elsewhere in the connective tissue into which light can penetrate. The animals literally "farm" their algae, which synthesize starch and oil deposits. The zooxanthellae are co
