Abstract
from the abstract, "To estimate mortality of the commercially important hard clam (Meraenaria meraenaria) resources of Great South Bay, New York, during the severe winter of 1976-77, clams were sampled at 31 stations in the Bay. Mortality was quite variable and ranged from O to 27.2 %. Mortality showed no strong relation to any of the variables measured at each station: depth, salinity, substrate particle size, substrate organic content, and clam density. . ."
