Do clams have seasonal growth?

I understand the deresa clams can growth really big and I want this one to grow as much as possible as I want to have a monster clams.

I have a derasa clam that seems to only grow during certain times of the year. It just grew about 5" and now the growth has almost stopped. I was wondering if this is normal?

dunno but my derasa averages 1/8-1/4" every mo for the past 7mo. Maybe it needs more cal?? Or how long did it take to gorw 5" And is your cal still up there? Do you have alot of calcium demanding animals? You may try DT and see it that will up the growth? If you have good cal use DT? maybe it's just gonna take time ..the growth may slow down when they get bigger? I wann giant clam also. My only reason for having a derasa. IMO giant clams look just as awesome as small colorful ones..but it nice to have both:)
