Metapopulation dynamics of the softshell clam, Mya arenaria
… with a focus on the softshell clam, Mya arenaria. I first worked towards developing a method for using elemental signatures retained in the larval shell as a tag of natal habitat. I designed and implemented an experiment to determine whether existing methods commonly used for fishes …

Influence de régimes tidaux fortement contrastés sur le recrutement larvaire de la mye commune (mya arenaria)
… sur le recrutement larvaire de la mye commune (Mya arenarià) face à des régimes de marées fortement contrastés, soit celui de la baie de Fundy (fortes marées) et celui du détroit de Northumberland (faibles marées). La distribution intertidale de myes juvéniles et adultes a été décrite en …

Lipoproteins and heat shock proteins as measures of reproductive physiology in the soft shell clam, Mya arenaria
… physiological processes of the soft shell clam, Mya arenaria, including reproduction. The distribution of 14c triolein, an injected lipid tracer, occurred rapidly and was unaffected by the early stages of the disease hematopoietic neoplasia. These results, in combination with other evidence, …

Modèle de gestion participative de la pêche aux coques (mya arenaria) dans le bassin versant de Tabusintac
… des bivalves marins, la coque ou mye commune (Mya arenaria) est une espèce indigène importante dans les baies et estuaires de la côte est du Nouveau-Brunswick. En plus de jouer un rôle écologique complexe dans les écosystèmes (Newell, 1988 ; Shumway et al., 2003), les coques représentent une …

Aspects of the biology of Mya arenaria and Ensis spp. (Mollusca; Bivalvia) in the Irish Sea and adjacent areas
… area. Monthly samples of the soft shell clam, Mya arenaria, were collected from Bannow Bay, Co. Wexford, Ireland, for sixteen months, and of the razor clam, Ensis spp. from the Skerries region (Irish Sea) between June 2010 and September 2011. In 2010, M. arenaria in Bannow Bay matured over the …

Effets de la taille sur le comportement d'enfouissement et la maturité sexuelle de la mye commune (mya arenaria)
Au Canada atlantique, la mye commune (Mya arenaria) est abondante dans les zones intertidales et subtidales peu profondes. Les habitants des régions côtières de l’est du Nouveau-Brunswick exploitent depuis longtemps les bancs de myes communes. Le Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac est un endroit …

Model of PAH and PCB bioaccumulation in Mya arenaria and application for site assessment in conjunction with sediment quality screening criteria
… models for benthically-coupled organisms such as Mya arenaria. In this document a bioaccumulation model for PAHs and PCBs was developed. The model considers contaminant partitioning into organism lipid and protein and incorporates organism exposure to contaminants through sediment and ingestion of …

Polyethylene passive samplers for measuring hydrophobic organic chemical concentrations in sediment porewaters and their use in predicting bioaccumulation in soft-shell clams (Mya arenaria) from sites near Boston, MA
… sediments and the tissues of soft shelled clams (Mya arenaria) , in order to measure bioaccumulation potential. First, the use of PE passive samplers, in-situ, to measure freely dissolved HOC concentrations, is demonstrated. PRCs, impregnated into the PE before use, allow porewater concentrations …

Life history traits and population processes in marine bivalve molluscs
… how the life history characteristics of the clam Mya arenaria determine the population response to chronic contaminant exposure. To predict the potential responses of a broadcast-spawning life history such as that of M. arenaria, I surveyed the literature on a variety of bivalve species. By …
