In October 2013, Woods Hole Sea Grant-Cape Cod Cooperative Extension Agent Joshua Reitsma (left) and a shellfish grower examined the growth of "blood arks" (Anadara ovalis), on Cape Cod, Mass. Unlike most clams, these small clams have distinctive brown shells and red blood, and are a popular food in some areas. The clams are being grown as part of a program to investigate possible new species to grow in waters off Cape Cod, where most aquaculture focuses on growing oysters.
