Hatchery reared Meroenaria meroenaria seed were grown under plastic mesh 



on intertidal flats. Growth averaged 0.005 cm/day from March to July. 



This slow growth was probably due to fouling of the plastic mesh. Eventually 



most of the seed died from smothering. Seed growth in rafts had greater than 



90% survival. - M.C.

The manner in which the sponge Cliona bores in calcareous objects. Cdn. J. 

 Zool. 36: 555-562. 



The boring sponge attacks hard clam as well as oysters and other mollusks. 

 Apparently cytoplasmic filaments penetrate calcite by secreting minute amounts 

 of acid. Fragments of shell are carried through sponge parenchyma to 

 excurrent canals. (Abstracter's note: Large hard clams in Great South Bay, 

 N.Y. are sometimes attacked by boring sponge. External evidence is confined 

 to the dorsal portion of the shell, between umbones and siphons, but when 

 infestation is well developed the sponge ramifies entirely over the inner 

 surfaces of the valves in a reticulated pattern, covered by a layer of
