 Conn. Acad. Arts Sci. 35: 129-328. 



According to Ropes & Merrill (1967) Coe found Malaoobdella grossa in 

 Mercenaria mercenaria from the Atlantic coast of North America, and in 

 Venus (Mercenaria) mercenaria from the European coast. - J.L.M.

Fluctuations in populations of littoral marine invertebrates. J. Mar. 

 Res. 15: 212-232. 



Major species discussed are pismo clam, oysters, sea stars (starfish) , 

 Bonax, mussels, and dinof lagellates . Catastrophic changes, introductions 

 of foreign species, commercial production records, and population cycles are 

 discussed. The only reference to quahog is a statement that Venus mercenaria 

 was introduced from the Atlantic to the Pacific, without mention of dates or 

 places. - J.L.M.

The article deals in general terms with shellfish culture programs of 

 Frank M. Flower and Sons, Inc., of Bayville, Long Island, N.Y. on Oyster 

 Bay. The hatchery can produce up to 20 million clams and oysters in one 

 day. Year-round production was the goal. - J.L.M.

Coffin, Gareth W., and Walter R. Welch. 1964. 



A technique for separating small mollusks from bottom sediments. Proc. 

 Natl. Shellf. Assn. 53: 175-180. 



Clams less than 5 mm long are difficult to separate from sediments with 

 which they are collected. Flotation or screening, or combinations of the 

 two, have been used. Methods developed by various workers are described. 

 A new technique, combining the advantages of screening, elutriating, and 

 decanting, was developed. Equipment and 5 stages in the operation are 

 described. Methods were varied as necessary to save time by taking 

 advantage of knowledge of life history of clams and nature of sediments. 

 The method was developed for studies of My a arenaria , but it has worked 

 well with several other bivalves, including Mercenaria mercenaria. - J.L.M.
