Population structure of Aequiyoldia eightsii (Jay, 1839) (Protobranchia, Sareptidae) in the shallow water zone of an Antarctic Specially Managed Area (Admiralty Bay, King George Island, Antarctic Peninsula)
Abstract:The protobranch Aequiyoldia eightsii is one of the most common bivalves in Antarctica and for the first time, its population structure was studied in Admiralty Bay, an Antarctic Specially Managed Area (ASMA), to establish a baseline for future monitoring. Density, size structure, length-weight relationship, condition index, and shell morphometry were evaluated at the shallow coastal zone of the bay. High abundance values of A. eightsii were related to sites with greater contributions of mud particles and total… Show more
