Partial report of aquacultural studies conducted by the Maine Department of 

 Marine Resources (formerly Department of Sea and Shore Fisheries) based on a 

 five-year grant by Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company. Me. Dept. Mar. 

 Resour., Augusta, 243 p. 



The report contains some information on Mereenaria mereenaria. In Maine the 

 species is near the limit of its temp range, and it varies widely in abun- 

 dance for this reason. It is stated that correlation between sea temp and 

 abundance is 0.79 (Fg . 99=0 . 47) , and that the optimum average annual water 

 temp is about 9.3°C. Quahogs grew best in early summer in condenser cooling 

 water discharge, and least in ambient seawater . In summer, growth was best 

 in condenser water maintained below 23°C by mixing with ambient water. - J.L.I

Investigation of the impact of a major flood on the fisheries resources and 

 environments of the Chesapeake Bay. VIMS Completion Report. 



Hard clam populations suffered the least damage of all shellfishes. Mor- 

 tality in natural populations was 5% or less, although clams being held for 

 depuration suffered mortalities ranging up to 100% depending on conditions 

 on the depurating beds. Losses to individual firms were as high as $25,000.

The case for shucking off clams. The Consumer Newsletter Moneysworth 5(2) . 



This brief article in a somewhat sensational manner discussed the dangers of 

 eating raw or steamed clams or oysters. Although not specifically mentioned 

 by name, the article apparently encompasses both Mereenaria and Mya. - M.C.

International Shellfish Enterprises, Inc., of Moss Landing, Calif, produces 

 seed of 3 oyster species and 2 clams, including Mereenaria mereenaria. 

 Plans were to ship 10 million clam seed and 15 million oyster seed to points 

 in the U.S., Europe and the Far East in 1975. - J.L.M.
