Ocean Quahog . The ocean quahog (Arctica Islandica) can be found in this area 

 but there is no chance that it will be of commercial value "in the study site 

 due to the depth and nearly rocky bottoms . Much more favorable grounds are 

 found off Massachusetts and Rhode Island (20-40 meters deep). These areas can 

 easily saturate the market and the fishery has been barely economically viable 

 in the last year.
