A study of the hard clam, Mercenaria mercenaria (Linnaeus, 1758) resources of Virginia is currently being conducted. One important aspect, their growth in this region, has been limited to the study of small juveniles (HAVEN & ANDREWS, 1957). Our objectives were to demonstrate that M. mercenaria growth functions could readily be derived and statistically contrasted, and, subsequently, the age-size relationship could be estimated.

Two experiments were carried out in 1971 using bay scallops spawned in Aug and Sept of 1970. 4 groups of 150 scallops were held at the surface, 1 m below the surface, 2 m off the bottom, and 1 m off the bottom, to find the effects of depth on growth and survival. Scallops were held in surface enclosures at 4 different densities (100, 75, 50 and 25/ft super(2)) to find out the effects of crowding. In the depth experiment growth was approx equal throughout the water column. Mortality decreased with increasing depth with the exception of those held at …
