The clam Neilonella sulculata in San Jorge Gulf (Argentina, Southwest Atlantic): spatial distribution pattern and inverse relationship between size and density
Abstract:Neilonella sulculata is a dominant bivalve on muddy bottoms of the continental shelf and gulfs off Argentina (Southwest Atlantic). Two benthic surveys performed in 2007 and 2009 in San Jorge Gulf, a depositional area characterized by silt/clay sediments, gave us the opportunity to test whether the population of this clam displays a significant spatial structure and to analyse if there is an inverse relationship between size and density. Density, biomass and size-frequency distribution displayed significant spa… Show more
