Panopea generosa A.Gould, 1850

Гуїдак (Panopea generosa) — вид морських двостулкових молюсків родини Hiatellidae. Ці великі (до 1,5 кг вагою) організми мають дуже довгі зрощені сифони (до 1 м у довжину) і порівняно невелику (до 20 см) крихку черепашку. Вважається найбільшим риючим молюском. Назва «geoduck» («gweduck») запозичена в індіанців і означає «глибоко копати».
