Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the population dynamics of three bivalve species, viz, Gafrarium tumidum, Marcia hiantina and Marcia opima in Dutch bay and Puttalam lagoon, Sri Lanka, in order to make recommendations for sustainable exploitation of these resources. The growth performance index (Ø) for the three species calculated from asymptotic length and growth constant, which were estimated using Compleat ELEFAN software package, ranged from 3.19 to 3.48 in Dutch bay an...
