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

Annual length increments during the second growing season were studied in the deposit-feeding bivalva Macoma balthica (L.) over 8 years at 15 intertidal stations in the westernmost part of the Dutch Wadden Sea. In the same area distribution of primary production and functional chlorophyll-a content in the top layer of the sediment were estimated over 1 year and over 7 years at a nearby station. Both the place-to-place and year-to-year variation in the growth rate of Macoma were significant. The observed variations in growth rates were related to measures of food supply and to the time available for feeding. Correlations suggest that shortage of food, at the lowest intertidal stations, and short periods of immersion, at the highest stations, both limit growth rate.
