Effects of the Razor Clam Tagelus plebeius on the Fate of Petroleum Hydrocarbons: A Mesocosm Experiment

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2018
The relationship between organisms and contaminants may be a two-way interaction: contaminants affecting the biota and the biota affecting the environmental fate and distribution of the contaminants. This may be especially so for sediment-dwelling organisms, because their burrowing and feeding can drastically influence sediment characteristics.

Biochemical adaptations of the stout razor clam (Tagelus plebeius) to changes in oxygen availability: resilience in a changing world?

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2021
Climate change is producing sea level rise and deoxygenation of the ocean, altering estuaries and coastal areas. Changes in oxygen availability are expected to have consequences on the physiological fitness of intertidal species. In this work we analyze the coping response of the intertidal stout razor clam (Tagelus plebeius (Lightfoot, 1786)) to ...

The Biology of the Stout Razor Clam Tagelus plebeius: II. Some Aspects of the Population Dynamics

Chesapeake Science, 1977
The population dynamics of the stout razor clam,Tagelus plebeius, were investigated for three years. Density, year-class structure, and recruitment varied with elevation above mean low water, among sample areas, and among years. Recruitment was unimodel and restricted to the late spring.

[Water quality of closed polyculture of penaeid shrimp with tilapia and constricted tagelus].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2001
A variety of water quality parameters were monitored in enclosures for the polyculture of penaeid shrimp with tilapia and constricted tagelus. The result showed that the environment of the polyculture systems was better than that of monoculture one. The fluctuation of DO in the water of polyculture enclosures was less violent, and their lowest values ...

The Biology of the Stout Razor Clam Tagelus plebeius: I. Animal-Sediment Relationships, Feeding Mechanism, and Community Biology

Chesapeake Science, 1977
Six intertidal populations ofTagelus plebeius, the stout razor clam, and associated macroinvertebrates were sampled in the North Inlet estuary, near Georgetown, South Carolina.T. plebeius inhabited only stable sediments composed of greater than 2.0 % silts and clays and which were covered by a visible surface film of benthic microalgae.

Production of a Population of the Stout Razor Clam (Tagelus plebeius Solander) in a Virginia Estuary

1979
The annual net secondary production of the stout razor clam, Tagelous plebeius, was estimated at three sites on an intertidal sand flat at Lynnhaven Inlet, Virginia. Samples were taken at six week intervals for one year. The range of net production (P), mean annual biomass (B), and P/B ratios was 18.3-28.7 g m-2year-1, 27.2-53.3 g m-2, and 0.54-0.67 ...

Evidence for contrasting accumulation pattern of cadmium in relation to other elements in Senilia senilis and Tagelus adansoni from the Bijagós archipelago, Guinea-Bissau

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2017
Shellfish harvesting in intertidal areas is a widespread and economically important activity in many countries across West Africa. However, in some areas, there is virtually no information concerning the levels of contaminants (and other elements related to nutritional aspects) in the harvested species. We collected sediments and several individuals of

Respiratory responses of excised gills of the stout razor clam, Tagelus plebeius solander, to acute temperature changes throughout the year

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1979
Abstract 1. 1. The exponent ( b ) relating metabolic rate to dry weight in excised gills of Tagelus plebeius is not maintained constant throughout the seasons or upon acute exposure to temperatures of 9–34°C. 2. 2. Acclimation (11–29°C) and test (9–34°C) temperatures have a significant effect (α = 0.01) on the mean rate of oxygen uptake by ...
