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 |
The annual production (P) and mean annual biomass (B) of N. hombergi and A. acutifrons , have been estimated over a 5-yr period, from October 1972 to October 1977, in the estuary of the River Lynher, Cornwall. For Nephtys , P varied btween 6.00 g dry wt/m-2 in 1973 and 2.84 g/m-2 in 1977, and B between 4.76 g/m-2 in 1976 and 3.21 g/m-2 in 1975. The P/B ratio varied between 1.42 in 1973 and 0.81 in 1977. Over the period of study the P/B ratio gradually declined as a result of reduced recruitment which resulted in a higher proportion of older year-classes in the population. In Ampharete , P varied between 12.54 g/m-2 in 1976 and 0.12 g/m-2 in 1977 and B between 2.29 g/m-2 in 1976 and 0.03 g/m-2 in 1977, a much larger variation than in Nephtys . However, the P/Bratio was more stable than for Nephtys , varying between 5.47 in 1976 and 4.00 in 1977; because Ampharete is an annual species the P/B value is not dependent on the balance of year-class strengths as in Nephtys . the variability of these values is discussed in relation to the reproductive biology and longevity of the two species. |
