Living on the edge: population parameters of the wedge clam Donax hanleyanus in its southernmost limit of distribution range, Southwest Atlantic, Argentina

The wedge clam Donax hanleyanus (Philippi, 1845) is a conspicuous member of the sandy beach macrofauna along hundreds of km in the northern coasts of Argentina. Age, growth, mortality and productivity of this species were assessed in its southernmost limit of distribution range (Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina). The von Bertalanffy growth function parameters were SL∞ = 23.23 mm, K = 1.62 yearThe accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
