Figure II. Distribution of shellfish in Yaquina Bay and_ River. 
( XO) Beds of Schizothaerus nuttalli Conrad and Cardium corbis Mar- 
tyn, the latter principally on the south side of the channel. (@) Scat- 
tering numbers of the above species together with Paphia staminea 
(Conrad), Maccma nasuta Conrad and Saxidomus giganteus Deshayes. 
The latter is rarely taken here. The beds on the north shore of the bay 
were largely destroyed in 1919 by dredging operations. 
Mya arenaria Linnaeus occurs in the river above the town of Yaquina 
and beds of the western oyster, Ostrea lurida Carpenter, are located in 
the channel of the river near Oysterville.
