Abstract
    There are currently 12 recognised extant species of giant clams (Cardiidae: Tridacninae) inhabiting the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific. Six species have been newly described or rediscovered since 1982, such as the recently resurrected species Tridacna elongatissima in the Western Indian Ocean. In order to investigate the distribution range of this species, 24 specimens have been collected and identified by DNA barcoding. This study provides the first record for T. elongatissima in Tanzania and expands both the northern (Zanzibar, Tanzania) and southern (Ponta de Ouro, Mozambique) ranges of this species.
