Stupid clam question

[fishymissy]

How long do clams live? I am interested not only about in the wild, but in the aquarium too.

I have seen aquarium specimens 10 years old. In the wild considerably longer.

Thanks Simonh!!

I'm glad to hear that they can live for quite a while, but I wonder what we are missing if they live a lot longer in the wild?
