Geoducks ( Panopea generosa), aren’t the easiest animals to harvest, found usually at a depth of 1 meter into the ocean floor. Images courtesy of Geoduck Canada via Katie Lindsay Where do geoducks live? Geoducks have enormous siphons that can grow to a meter in length. They are also a source of revenue in the region, as each year 1,370 metric tonnes (3.03 million pounds) of geoducks are harvested for sale worldwide, with the largest markets existing in China and Hong Kong. These bivalve mollusks are filter feeders and they are a much-loved species in British Columbia (BC), Canada, where locals credit the phallic animals for gifting their shores with clean coastal waters. ![]() Collectively, they are a “bag” of geoducks. Across the globe, it's also known as the elephant-trunk clam, mud duck, and king clam. Their name is derived from a Lushootseed (language of the Nisqually) word, part of which translates to "dig deep", which refers to how far down you have to go to find them. Native to the coastal waters of western Canada and the northwest United States, geoducks sit within a family of saltwater clams called the Hiatellidae. The geoduck’s impressive measurements make it the largest burrowing clam in the world. Their shells, which are around 15 to 20 centimeters (6 to 8 inches), are outperformed by the geoducks’ massive siphon that when agitated stands to attention at around 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length. The geoduck, pronounced “goo-ey duck”, is perhaps one of nature’s most lewd creations (though arguably the penis fish still takes the crown) and is a giant among shellfish.
