B. EXPOSURE PANEL 



Figure 10. Diagram of an exposure panel trawl-line used to sample the distribution of shipworms in relation to the 

 efriuent discharge point at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station (a. trawl-line of five lobster pots with the 

 locations of tfie 15 pine panels; b. pine panel showing the sections used for subsampling). 



The panels collected in November were exposed during the period of peak recruitment for shipworms. 

 Therefore, only six of the nine panels collected from each trawl-line were selected for shipworm identification. 

 Each panel was cut into six equal parts, and all shipworms in one of the parts were removed and identified. 

 Because the parts chosen came from different locations in each panel (Fig. 10), the six parts processed
