Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
In the course of long-term investigations on variations and productivity of sublittoral benthic macrofauna in the German Bight several bivalve species have been investigated since 1969. Report is given about annual variations and about the long-term development in numerical abundance. The species Nucula nitidosa, Tellina tabula and Cultellus pellucidus have been studied more intensively. C. pellucidus and T. tabula were found to breed in summer with the breeding season of the latter species being more prolonged. The reproduction of N. nitidosa starts in late summer lasting till spring. Large animals of C. pellucidus (30 mm length) and T. tabula (20 mm) are supposed to be 2-3 years old, whereas Nucula specimens of 9 mm length are about 5 years old. Data on growth are presented. The productivity of N. nitidosa was calculated with the annual P:B ratio (turnover-rate) being about 1.5 at a standing stock biomass of 1.3 g dry tissue wt/m². |
