A description is given of the artisanal fishery for yellow clam (Mesodesma mactroides ) conducted on beaches between the resorts of La Coronilla and Barra de Chuy, Uruguay. The clams are gathered by means of simple implements ...
Availability of wild spat of the blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera, from 'open' reef systems in Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
In this paper, we report results from a 2-year sampling program to assess spatial and temporal variation in abundances of spat in Solomon Islands. In particular, we focus on the apparent characteristics of good sites for ...
On the growth, mortality and recruitment of the spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus) in Sri Lankan waters
Type: Journal Article
Monthly length-frequency data of spiny lobster Panulirus homarus collected from the south coast of Sri Lanka during 1988-1990 were analyzed to estimate von Bertallanfy growth parameters. The asymptotic lengths estimated ...
The relationship of shell dimensions and shell volume to live weight and soft tissue weight in the mangrove clam, Polymesoda erosa (Solander, 1786) from northern Australia
Type: Journal Article
Shell dimensions (length, height, width) and shell volume were evaluated as estimators of growth for Polymesoda erosa in northern Australia. Each parameter was a good estimator when applied to live weight (r2 values of ...

Population dynamics of the freshwater clam Galatea paradoxa (Donacidae) in the Cross River, Nigeria
Type: Journal Article
The growth of freshwater clam Galatea paradoxa (Born) from the Cross River, Nigeria, was studied based on a count of growth checks on shells, presumed to be laid down annually. Mean lengths at ages 1 to 5 were 4.1 cm, 5.9 ...
Phylogeography of a pearl oyster (Pinctada maxima) across the Indo-Australian Archipelago: evidence of strong regional structure and population expansions but no phylogenetic breaks
Type: Journal Article
This study investigates the genetic structure and phylogeography of a broadcast spawning bivalve mollusc, Pinctada maxima, throughout the Indo-West Pacific and northern Australia. DNA sequence variation of the mitochondrial ...
