Management Strategy Evaluation for the Atlantic Surfclam, <i>Spisula solidissima</i>, Using a Fisheries Economics Model
<p>The Atlantic surfclam, <em>Spisula solidissima</em>, is an economically valuable bivalve harvested along the northeastern United States. The surfclam’s range has contracted and the center of the stock’s distribution has shifted north driven by warmer bottom water temperatures. Declining landings …

Spatial Distribution and Stock-Recruitment Analysis of the Atlantic Surfclam, <i>Spisula solidissima</i>, in the Mid-Atlantic Bight and on Georges Bank
<p>Atlantic surfclams, <em>Spisula solidissima</em>, are long-lived bivalve molluscs with dispersive larval stages. Surfclam patchiness throughout the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) has declined from the 1980’s to the present in all assessed regions (Delmarva, New Jersey, Long Island, Southern …

THE INFLUENCE OF RANGE SHIFTS AND WIND ENERGY ON THE ATLANTIC SURFCLAM (SPISULA SOLIDISSIMA) AND OCEAN QUAHOG (ARCTICA ISLANDICA) FISHERIES ON THE U.S. OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF
<p>The Atlantic surfclam, <em>Spisula solidissima</em>, is a biomass dominant bivalve of the Northwestern Atlantic. The surfclam’s historic range extended from Cape Hatteras to Georges Bank, but recent decades of warming bottom water temperatures have caused the surfclam to shift its range to …

The Potential Future Impacts of Offshore Wind Energy Development and the Applicability of Size Limits for the Atlantic Surfclam, Spisula solidissima, Fishery in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Continental Shelf
<p>The Atlantic surfclam, <em>Spisula solidissima</em>, fishery is encountering combined pressures from climate change and offshore wind energy expansion along the North American continental shelf. Utilizing the Spatially Explicit Fishery Economics Simulator (SEFES), this study evaluates the …

Projected Range Shift of the Atlantic Surfclam, Spisula solidissima, and the Ocean Quahog, Arctica islandica, Under Climate-Induced Benthic Warming: Forecasting Fishery Influence in the Mid-Atlantic Bight Throughout the 21st Century
<p>The Atlantic surfclam, <em>Spisula solidissima</em>, and ocean quahog, <em>Arctica islandica,</em> are biomass dominant bivalve species on the eastern North American continental shelf, both supporting lucrative commercial fisheries in the Mid-Atlantic with a combined value of $53.6 million in …

An Analysis of Dredge Efficiency for Surfclam and Ocean Quahog Commercial Dredges
… survey gear efficiency and stock density for Atlantic surfclam (Spisula solidissima) and ocean quahog (Arctica islandica) populations using commercial hydraulic dredges. The Patch Model was formulated to estimate gear efficiency and organism density from the data. The range of efficiencies …
