Understanding large-scale spatial and temporal patterns of marine populations is a central goal in ecology, which has received renewed attention under climate change. However, few studies explore the large-scale dynamics of populations using standardized protocols and during the same time frames. We studied the phenology and intensity of reproduction and recruitment for the intertidal stalked barnacle Pollicipes pollicipes ove...

Diseases caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Vibrio are a common, as yet unresolved, cause of mortality in shellfish hatcheries. In this study, we report the results of routine microbiological monitoring of larval cultures of the carpet shell clam Ruditapes decussatus in a hatchery in Galicia ( NW Spain). Previous episodes of mortality with signs similar to those of vibriosis affecting other species in the installation i...

Hatchery culture of the razor clam, Solen marginatus (Pulteney), has recently been developed in Galicia ( NW Spain). However, recurrent episodes of mortalities of larval and post‐larval cultures have been recorded during the course of various studies. The disease signs were similar to those described for other bivalve species in outbreaks caused by bacteria of the genus Vibrio . In this article, we present the results of micro...
