  8. Clams Triploid species may be considered almost sterile. Can tripoidy be an advantage to the improvement of growth? El-Wazzan and Scarpa, 2009 Mercenariamercenarianotata Growth Improvement 14 and 15-18 weeks old clams Triploid individuals grew less than diploid. But, Under stressful conditions triploid clams may present better growth rates.
