Why has reefcentral not donated?
Disease Research â€"œ help needed
As many of you already know, there’s a condition that’s killing Tridacnid clams over the past few years â€"œ “Pinched Mantle.†Three years ago Barry N. took it upon himself to try to find the cause â€"œ and treatment for â€"œ this condition. During that time, he has shipped over 50 clams at his own expense ($1,350) to several labs paying them an additional $592 for the work done to date.
Currently Barry has a group of doctors from the University of Maine who are working on identifying the cause and treatment for this condition. They volunteer their time but the hard costs â€"œ lab equipment & testing â€"œ must be paid. If any of you can help cover these costs please do. (Research link: http://www.clamsdirect.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1982 )
So far 29 people and 5 groups/businesses have donated to this cause and Barry is nearly ¾ of the way to his goal. After researching on Reef Central “Pinched Mantle†there were 254 threads, so people know about this and are concerned â€"œ yet only 29 people have stepped up to the plate and offered their support. All Barry needs is $740.63 to reach the goal of $2,500 needed to complete this study to develop a treatment â€"œ please help. [Note: This is just under $3 per thread] (Donations to-date: http://www.clamsdirect.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2020 )
