Zusammenfassung:Recent declines in commercial harvests of soft-shell clams, Mya arenaria L., in Maine, have prompted state and local officials to consider enhancing wild stocks with hatchery-reared seed. Beal and Kraus conducted two manipulative field experiments in the soft-bottom intertidal zone during 1990-1991 in eastern Maine to assess effects of predation, intraspecific competition, and initial planting size on the survival and growth of cultured individuals of Mya.
