Abstract
A pilot-scale experimental clam farming operation has been carried out since 1975 by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science of the College of William and Mary at Wachapreague, Virginia, on the mid Atlantic coast of the United States. The bivalve Mercenaria mercenaria (Linne, 1758) grown in this experiment is a commercially-important mollusk found principally in the central latitudes of the Western Atlantic.
