ABSTRACT Salinity tolerance and resistance of the Pacific lion's paw scallop Nodipecten subnodosus, using the median lethal concentration method (L[C.sub.50]) and a gradual change method were measured. We also attempted to demonstrate whether salinity and temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and turbidity control the distribution and densities of species within a coastal lagoon (Laguna Ojo de Liebre, Mexico). The upper and lower L[C.sub.50] of this scallop were determined in the labor...
