Estimating Connectivity of Hard Clam (<i>Mercenaria mercenaria</i>) and Eastern Oyster (<i>Crassostrea virginica</i>) Larvae in Barnegat Bay

Estimating Connectivity of Hard Clam (<i>Mercenaria mercenaria</i>) and Eastern Oyster (<i>Crassostrea virginica</i>) Larvae in Barnegat Bay

Many marine organisms have a well-known adult sessile stage. Unfortunately, our lack of knowledge regarding their larval transient stage hinders our understanding of their basic ecology and connectivity. Larvae can have swimming behavior that influences their transport within the marine environment....
