Documentation of Annual Growth Lines in Ocean Quahogs, Arctica Islandica Linne
About 42.000 ocean quahogs,Arctica islandica Linne. were marked and released at a deep (53 m) oceanic site off Long Island, New York, in 1978. Shells of live specimens recovered 1 and 2 years later were radially sectioned, polished. and etched for preparation of acetate peels and examination by opti...
