These photos were taken through a microscope. You are looking at 5 tiny clams, as they would appear on the head of a pin! It is at this time that they are fed protein and calcium to help form a healthy clam with a strong hard shell. This will give them longer shelf life and help to make sure they are fresh when they reach your table.
There are about ¼ million clams in this bucket.
Compare them to the dime inside the bucket.
