Abstract |
The population dynamics of a semelid bivalve Theora fragilis (A. Adams) were studied in Maizuru Bay, the Sea of Japan based on data obtained through weekly or bi-weekly sampling. A sharp increase in population abundance occurred from early February to early April. However, the benthic population had almost disappeared leaving only sporadic survivors by early August. Comparison of average growth between the central and the innermost stations showed that many juveniles recruited into adult size at the latter station, where high sedimentation of particulate organic matter (POM) was observed. At the central station, the mean POM sedimentation rate was 1/3 that of the former station, and few individuals recruited into adult size. The occurrence of small juveniles was comparable at both sites. It was concluded that nutritional input is important for both recruitment into adult size and resulting fecundity. |
