  abstract = {{S}mall-scale mariculture of high-value species for trade in remote islands can offer valuable alternative livelihoods to local communities. {T}he endangered giant clam species {T}ridacna maxima is naturally abundant in some atolls in {F}rench {P}olynesia ({FP}) and has been the focus of commercial mariculture activities since 2012. {S}hortly after spat collectors became operational in two atoll lagoons, {FP} rose to become one of the main exporters of giant clams for the aquarium trade. {H}owever, this activity has been threatened recently by a mass clam-bleaching event triggered by the 2015-2016 {E}l {N}ino. {T}his study reviews the roles that international ({C}onvention on {I}nternational {T}rade in {E}ndangered {S}pecies of {W}ild {F}auna and {F}lora) and national regulatory frameworks play in the development of this activity in a small island context, and how they can indirectly promote better science and monitoring in order to inform adaptive management strategies. {T}he links between the nine main groups of stakeholders show the necessary adaptation measures required to mitigate climate-driven mortalities. {W}hile this case study remains specific to giant clam farming in {FP}, general lessons are provided that could help in mitigating economic impacts from climate-related events on other islands.},
