| Notes | "We continued our studies on the clam resources in 0regon's estuaries. Our objectives were: (1) to monitor the cormercial harvest of subtidal clams in Yaquina and Coos bays and evaluate the effects of mechanical harvest on subtidal clam populations and habitat; (2) to calculate natural mortality of gaper clams in Yaquina Bay and; (3) to monitor growth of laboratory reared Manila littleneck clams released in Netarts Bay." (Introduction) Includes list of species occurring in a subtidal clam commercially harvested plot in Yaquina Bay. |
