ABSTRACT Information was presented on the density, recruitment to harvestable size, and growth of the Pacific geoduck clam, P. abrupta, in 0.25 ha experimental plots with controlled fishing in two areas of southern British Columbia over a 9-year period. In two plots that had high exploitation in the first 3 years, the geoduck population densities and the average age (by removing old individuals) were substantially reduced, but thereafter densities slowly increased due to geoduck re...
