Occan quahogs (Arctica islandica) are long-lived bivalves. Distributionl patterns and biology of ocean quahogs ill the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) off the cast coast of North America are directly related to bottom water temperatures. We examined long term recruitment patterns for ocean quahogs across t...
