520 |aGeoducks are very large and very long-lived bivalves, with potential life-spans well beyond 100 years. Such long life-spans should be expected to confer great stability to these populations. Information about the ecology and dynamics of geoduck populations in Washington State and British Columbia is re-examined, and the implications for stock assessment and management is explored. Strengths and shortcomings of the two management systems are identified, and urgently needed information is highlighted. The analyses suggest a long-term trend of declining recruitment over a large spatial scale, so that recent recruitment could be 40-50% of that during the 1930's. Recommendations are provided to further investigate this apparent phenomenon and the potential role played by fishing activities.
