• Description:
  The objectives of the survey were to: (1) determine the distribution, relative abundance and obtain biological data for surfclams (Spisula solidissima) and ocean quahogs (Arctica islandica); (2) collect dredge performance readings on each dredge haul by deploying a set of archiving, multi-sensor sampling devices attached to the commercial clam dredge; (3) collect adductor muscle meat weights and shells from surfclams and ocean quahogs on a subset of station locations; (4) conduct a series of selectivity tows between a lined dredge and a newly constructed industry built selectivity dredge to characterize the smaller surfclams and ocean quahogs not retained in the commercial-sized gear.
