Description:
This tool will help you estimate the potential production and costs of growing quahog clams in the sediments below a subtidal oyster farm in contained culture. The model uses growth rates, stocking densities, and survivorship of quahogs grown between 2017 and 2020 on the New Meadows River, Long Reach, and Robinhood Cove in southern Maine. This work represents the trial and error of a new technique, and shows a range of outcomes that include failed treatments.
