Six to eight sites in the Plum Island Sound estuary , the mainstem of the Parker River and Rowley River, in areas close to where other clam samples were being taken for other studies, were selected for monthly chlorophyll sampling to determine the concentration of phytoplankton at these sites.
In 2010 a study was conducted at five sites in the Rowley and Parker Rivers, Northeast Massachusetts, to determine the distribution and density of soft shell clams along a transect from the high to low tide line, as well as the sediment grain size distribution a t each of the sites.
Age and annual growth of soft shell clams (Mya arenaria) were estimated using internal growth lines . The accuracy of these estimates was assessed by comparing them to a δ18O analysis of shell carbonate at six sites in the Plum Island Sound estuary
Softshell clams from 5 sites from the mainstem of the Parker River , Plum Island sound estuary and adjacent tidal creeks were measured for length, wet weight, dry weight and organic content in 2010.
Several sites in Plum Island Sound, the mainstem of the Parker River and Rowley River were selected and sampled during 2010 and 2011 for 2 and 4 inch intertidal clams on a monthly basis. The tissue of these clams were analyzed for stable isotopes to determine the food source of these clams. Water samples were also filtered and plants were collected to determine their isotopic composition as well.
