Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

Long-term observation (1973-2001) of recruitment in the intertidal bivalve Macoma balthica in the western Wadden Sea, has revealed that interannual variation in recruitment may be possibly governed by match/mismatch mechanisms. Mismatch occurs when spawning takes place before or at the beginning of the spring phytoplankton bloom, whereas matching occurs when spawning occurs during the spring bloom. To test the match/mismatch hypothesis, a laboratory experiment was conducted in which 6 batches of M. balthica larvae were reared at different starting times during a phytoplankton spring bloom (April-May 2002). Larvae were reared in Wadden Sea seawater with the natural phytoplankton assemblage at two larval densities. As controls, larvae of the same batches were reared in filtered seawater with Isochrysis galbana. A clear effect of fertilisation date on larval growth and development rates was observed. However, no effects of fertilisation date or food level on mortality were detected. Hence, in this experiment larval performance was affected by the timing of spawning, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
