Environmental effects on abundance and size of harvested bivalve populations in intertidal shellfish grounds.
Clams, razor clams and cockle are intertidal bivalve species collected on foot in the shellfish grounds of the Rías Altas (NW Spain). Spatio-temporal distribution of these bivalves are typically at the expenses of the environmental conditions of the region; however, the responses to the abiotic conditions are poorly understood. Using data from 6 species (Ruditapes decussatus, Venerupis corrugata, Ruditapes philippinarum, Cerastoderam edule, Donax trunculus and Solen marginatus) sampled in 51 intertidal shellfish grounds during 2007 and 2008, we characterized the influence of the environment (temperature, salinity, nutrient salts, suspended organic matter, or sediment granulometry and composition) on the distribution and size of these species through a comparative statistical analysis. Shellfish grounds were grouped according to their sediment and water characteristics revealing a land-ocean gradient and the influence of the geological imprint that separates bivalve grounds from West to East. Statistical models showed that R. decussatus, V. corrugata and R. philippinarum together with C. edule were more abundant in sites combining a strong marine influence with organic-rich finer sediments. However, each of those species also had different environmental niches mostly related to their particular sediment affinities, the proximity to the river mouth, and their physiological tolerances to temperature and salinity. D. trunculus was only found in outer exposed shellfish grounds, while S. marginatus abundance increased in muddy sediments. River distance was a sound descriptor of individual shell length and length variability with contrasting effects on the different species. Furthermore, slopes of length-weight relationships were steeper in autumn than in spring, and this allometry tended to be more positive in sites located closer to the rivers' mouth, which had a higher organic matter C/N ratio. Overall, harvested intertidal bivalves had identifiable environmental preferences that influence their spatial distribution in abundance, body size, and allometric growth.
期刊介绍:
Marine Environmental Research publishes original research papers on chemical, physical, and biological interactions in the oceans and coastal waters. The journal serves as a forum for new information on biology, chemistry, and toxicology and syntheses that advance understanding of marine environmental processes.
Submission of multidisciplinary studies is encouraged. Studies that utilize experimental approaches to clarify the roles of anthropogenic and natural causes of changes in marine ecosystems are especially welcome, as are those studies that represent new developments of a theoretical or conceptual aspect of marine science. All papers published in this journal are reviewed by qualified peers prior to acceptance and publication. Examples of topics considered to be appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
– The extent, persistence, and consequences of change and the recovery from such change in natural marine systems
– The biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems
– The biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances
– Models that describe and predict the above processes
– Monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes
– Methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences.
