local.descriptionNotwithstanding the popularity of Viagra, locals still look up to home grown sources of sex-enhancing food, that sadly grow rare these days. However one of these is imbao (Anadontia edentula), a mangrove clam that buries itself deep in the mud, at around 50-30 centimeters, in mangrove areas. The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC)- Aquaculture Department (AQD) sees imbao as a commodity that can be reared in mangrove areas by coastal communities. SEAFDEC scientists Jurgenne H. Primavera said that the work on imbao started in 1997 and became a community-wide effort in Ibajay town in Aklan.en
