In 1968 the Oregon Fish Commission (now Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife) initiated P.L. 88-309 funded studies to develop techniques to spawn and rear several species of bay clams. After our successful spawning and rearing studies, we planted the laboratory-produced juvenile clams on various tideflats of several estuaries to evaluate their growth and survival (Figures A-Fin Appendix).
