from the abstract, ". . .a study was conducted of the sediments in eastern Great South Bay from Homans Creek east to Smith Point. A total of 186 stations were sampled in the open bay and in channels, creeks and rivers. . .The character of sediments in the Bay probably has a large effect on growth, survival and abundance of the commercially important hard
clam, Mercenaria mercenaria, and these relationships are discussed."
