Population Dynamics of the Manila Clam Ruditapes Philippinarum and Implications of the 2011 Tsunami Impact in Two Shallow, Semi-enclosed Bays in Northeastern Japan

Oceanography Challenges to Future Earth

Abstract

We investigated Manila clam population dynamics and evaluated the impact of the 2011 giant tsunami in Matsushima Bay and Mangoku-ura Inlet on the Pacific coast of north-eastern Japan. The clams have one spawning period: the planktonic larvae occurred from June to October with the peak period from mid-July to early-August. The larval density observed in the present study was relatively high compared with previous reports in other clam habitats around Japan, which was attributable to the abundance of large-sized adult clams that were mainly distributed around entrance area of the bays. Larval settlement (clams <1 mm shell length) and recruitment (clams >1 mm shell length) were mainly observed from July to November and September to January, respectively. The growth rate in shell length of the clam was 15 mm per year after settlement. In Matsushima Bay and Mangoku-ura Inlet, the 2011 tsunami inundation heights were decreased by the presence of natural geographical barriers and the clam populations in both bays were less tsunami affected within the clam populations in north-eastern Japan, which suffered catastrophic impacts from the 2011 tsunami.
