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 |
Based on literature data and personal investigations it is concluded that Cerastoderma edule and C. Glaucum are closely related, but distinct species. The haploid chromosome number of both species is 19. The distribution and ecology of the two species in the estuarine area of the rivers Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt are described in relation to environmental factors. C. Edule lives nearly exclusively in tidal environments, C. Glaucum in areas with stagnant water. This is in accordance with the hypotheses that C. Edule canot live in stagnant water, owing to a detrimental substance liberated by the living animals themselves, and that C. Glaucum does not tolerate wave-action or a long period of emersion. It is concluded that C. Edule shows a correlation between mean rib number and mean salinity, whereas C. glaucum does not. Therefore Eisma's (1965) method for determining the salinity of fossil seas is modified. |
