Seasonal variation in the reproductive activity and biochemical composition of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) from the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand (2003, background): “These results suggest that nutrient accumulation over winter is as important in the growth of oysters as in other bivalves (Bayne 1976; Heffernan et al. 1989; Harvey et al. 1993; Honkoop & van der Meer 1997; Beukema et al. 2001 ).”
Some like it cold: populations of the tellinid bivalve Macoma balthica (L.) suffer in various ways from a warming climate (2009, background): “In summer, such condition values are relatively low in years with low growth (Beukema & Cadée 1991) and growth is retarded when condition values at the start of the growing season are low (Beukema et al. 2001b).”
The effect of eutrophication abatement on the bivalve Scrobicularia plana (2005, background): “Moreover, like other bivalve species (Beukema et al., 2001), recruitment was more intensive after a severe winter (e.g. 1994), and subsequent years were often characterised by lesser recruitments.”
