Fourth survey of Eel River Cove, N.B. soft-shell clam (Mya arenaria) population / Dr. G. Robert.: Fs97-4/1491E-PDF ; Fs97-4/1491

"The Eel River Cove soft-shell clam population was surveyed for the fourth time since 1963. The Cove is slowly converting to a salt marsh and the clam producing grounds have considerably diminished in size. The soft-shell clam population has a very high density at the present time, but only 15% of the total population constitutes market-size clams. This size is reached after six growing seasons. Clams slightly smaller than market size account for the most abundant size classes of the actual population"--Abstract, page iii.
