Recruitment of polychaetes and bivalves: long-term assessment of predictability in a soft-bottom habitat

Settlement and Recruitment Patterns of the Soft-Shell Clam, Mya arenaria , on the Northern Shore of the Bay of Fundy, Canada
Jenna E. Bowen,Heather L. Hunt +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that local factors at specific sites within the Bay of Fundy, such as hydrodynamics, larval behavior, and early postsettlement events, likely control the abundance of juvenile clams and are extremely important in shaping M. arenaria populations in this area.

Spatial and temporal variations of recruitment in the tube worm Riftia pachyptila on the East Pacific Rise (9°50¹N and 13°N)
TL;DR: The data suggested that R. pachyptila exhibits a high yearly tube growth rate, a high individual mortality rate, and a high population turnover, all of which are the characteristics of an opportunistic species, which is likely to control the spatial and temporal evolution of numerous vent species.

Tidal transport of Pectinaria koreni postlarvae (Annelida: Polychaeta) in the Bay of Seine (eastern English Channel)
Thiébaut E,Dauvin Jc,Z. Wang +2 more
TL;DR: The interaction of postlarval drifting and tide generates a net landward transport which could partly reduce the demograph~c consequences of larval dispersal and is proposed to be one of the major processes which explain the spatial and temporal stability of the adult population in a highly advective and dispersive environment.

Settlement, mortality and growth of the asari clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) for a collapsed population on a tidal flat in Nakatsu, Japan
Naoaki Tezuka,Satomi Kamimura,Masami Hamaguchi,Hajime Saito,Hideki Iwano,Junichi Egashira,Yuichi Fukuda,Takahiko Tawaratsumida,Atsushi Nagamoto,Koichi Nakagawa +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the clam population on this tidal flat is probably suppressed by variable but high mortality rates after settlement, not by recruitment limitation, and suggests that density-dependent processes such as predation or competition may affect population levels.
