MECHANIZATION :

As early as 1944 attention was directed to conventional hand dig- ging methods which cient and. wasteful. From 1951 on, thinking moved toward the idea ef a mechanized clam digger. This proposal became a prac- tical reality in 1955 and was per- fected mechanically by 1957. Its

clams remain to be tested. Work on bar clams and qua- haugs has been less regular. The general life history of the qua- haugs was fairly well worked out by 1939. Growth is generally slow and is related to position on the beach, being best just below low tide. Water flow is important for growth but other factors tes- ted seem unimportant. The role of the large clam drill Polynices os an enemy was confirmed by

QUAHAUGS

In cogtrast to the quahaug, the bar clam was shown by 1943 to grow quickly. It should stand ex- ploitation well. Careful surveys led to the conclusion in 1948 that there are not many tions dense enough to profi- table dredging operations for this rather. deep species. However, the recently developed mechani- zed di promises to open new stocks of both quahaugs and bar clams to’ exploitation.

Two other species of animal have been studied in relation with the clam work. The green crab is a serious predator of soft shelled clams and made its ap- pearance in southern Maritime Waters in 1951. It became very abundant by 1954 and is now de- clining. It no doubt contributed
