Clam Population

With stratified random sampling, use of a commercial dredge provided a valid estimate of the population of the hardshell clam Mercenaria mercenaria in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Because of the nonrandom distribution pattern of M. mercenaria, treatment of the data with normal statistics would indicate a mean of 1.64 bu per dredge tow with a variance of 1.80. Stratified sampling, due to its inherent weighting feature, provided a similar estimate of 1.36 bu per tow with a variance of 0.033.

Samples of the infaunal invertebrates Nephtys incisa and Yoldia limatula from Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, have been analyzed for their fatty acid distribution. Based on total fatty acids, Yoldia contains 9–16% of an acid tentatively identified as 22:2. The ratios of 18:1/18:0 and 18:1/20:1 fatty acids of Nephtys from a polluted station in the bay are lower than the corresponding ratios for animals from relatively clean areas.
