the movements of a coastal marine bivalve, Macoma balthica, that migrates over several kilometres between the adult habitat on low-lying tidal flats and nurseries for the juveniles at the high flats. Dingle (1996) defined a migration as a ‘persistent and straightened out movement, effected by the animal’s own locomotion or active M. balthica migrates over several kilometres between nurseries at high tidal flats, where juveniles are found in high numbers, and the adult habitat on low-lying tidal flats. bottom-up factors to population abundance of the infaunal clam Macoma balthica in two ecosystems differing in spatial extent by an order of magnitude: the York River, 50 km long, and the Rhode River, 5 km long. In both rivers, two habitat types could be differentiated by either high or low density of Macoma.

Macoma balthica occurs in a wide depth range between the mid shore and 190m but is most abundant at moderate depths on muddy and sandy bottoms (Olafsson, 1986). However, in British waters Macoma balthica is mainly an intertidal species.

Spatfall of the tellinid bivalve Macoma balthica may occur in fine-grained sediments at different tidal elevations in the Wadden Sea. but it is not clear which mechanism (active habitat selection or passive sinking of larvae, or both) can explain the observed distribution pattern. Spatfall and the subsequent development of juvenile abundances and size distribution were studied along a transect

Macoma balthica habitat

The habitat may be subject to variable salinity conditions in marine inlets. The species assemblage is characterised by the lugworm [Arenicola marina] and the Baltic tellin [Macoma balthica]. The polychaetes [Scoloplos armiger] and [Pygospio elegans] are typically superabundant and common, respectively. Macoma balthica occurs in a wide depth range between the mid shore and 190m but is most abundant at moderate depths on muddy and sandy bottoms (Olafsson, 1986). However, in British waters Macoma balthica is mainly an intertidal species. Distributed from the White Sea south to Spain and Portugal (Distr. M. balthica).

Habitat & Range The Baltic macoma lives buried to 20 cm below the surface in sandy or muddy bays and estuaries, from the intertidal to a depth of 40 m. In the Pacific Northwest it occurs from northern Alaska to southern California; it is currently listed as a circumboreal species, though Atlantic populations may actually represent a separate Habitat: Burrows in soft substrata, particularly in estuaries and on tidal flats, where it may be abundant; intertidal only. The species previously identified as Macoma balthica in San Francisco Bay has now been recognized as Macoma petalum (which is also found in the North Atlantic American coast), but no morphological differences between the two species have been specified. It is thought to have been brought to the Pacific coast by oyster farming.

in the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus differed between two habitats. community are the amphipod Monoporeia affinis and the bivalve Macoma balthica.

4.1 Macoma balthica dominated biotopes against the hypoxia thresholds The SPICE task 4.2.1 report listed species-specific tolerances for hypoxia and the bivalve Macoma balthica was shown to tolerate rather low levels of oxygen; occasional concentrations of 2.8 mg/l did not increase the species mortality (Modig & Olafsson 1998). Macoma inquinata, M. nasuta and M. balthica (see descriptions in this guide) are all species with an anterior ventral edge of pallial sinus that is not detached and they tend to be larger (up to 110 mm) than M. acolasta or M. yoldiformis (less than 30 mm). Macoma balthica has a pinkish hue and a pallial sinus that ends ¾ of the way to anterior 2007-02-01 The extent to which it pays settling larvae of marine benthic organisms to actively select the habitat where they will spend the rest of their life can only be fully appreciated if the fitness consequences of such habitat selection processes are known. We estimated the lifetime egg production of the tellinid bivalve Macoma balthica at 11 sites over a tidal gradient in the western Wadden Sea The Baltic clam Macoma balthica (L.) is 1 of 5 bivalve species found in the brackish northern Baltic Sea. It is the dominant bivalve in shallow and deep soft bottoms, and is considered a key species in these habitats (Segerstråle 1962). Eutrophication is an escalating problem in the area (Bonsdorff et … Table 4: List of habitats and communities recorded south of Åland Islands in 2011, 2012 and 2013, and their threat categories.
