Mass Mortality of Asari Clams (<i>Ruditapes philippinarum</i>) Triggered by Wind-Induced Upwelling of Hypoxic Water Masses

Mass Mortality of Asari Clams (<i>Ruditapes philippinarum</i>) Triggered by Wind-Induced Upwelling of Hypoxic Water Masses

To investigate the mass mortality of the macrobenthos community, primarily asari clams, triggered by upwelling-driven hypoxia, we conducted continuous observations of temperature, salinity, and DO, and monthly macrobenthos monitoring on the Rokujo tidal flat in Mikawa Bay, central Japan, from 2014 t...
