      abstract = {Giant clams offer small holders throughout the  Indo-Pacific with good prospects for commercial culture to  satisfy their increasing dependence on the cash economy.  Two species appear promising for an emerging village-based  export industry in Solomon Islands. These species are  Tridacna crocea, the preferred species for the aquarium  market, and T. derasa, the species that has the best  potential for the seafood market. In this paper, a  bioeconomic model is used in a normative analysis to  explore optimal-management strategies for village farmers  producing these clams. The normative study provides a  benchmark against which current practices can be  evaluated.},
