dc.description.abstractResponses of the clam Spisula solida to stress imposed by dredging were analyzed in terms of changes in chronic indices of biochemical conditions (RNA/DNA ratio and neutral/polar (N/P) lipid ratio). Cumulative stress on undersized (<25 mm) S. solida from repeated habitat disturbance by dredging was simulated in the laboratory and measured with in situ studies off the southern coast of Portugal, in April and July 1999. Laboratory simulations on undersized bivalves indicated decreases in RNA/DNA and N/P lipid ratios. Responses were sublethal; however, even though survival was not directly threatened, decreases in condition suggest that bivalves are more susceptible to predation when they have been left in the seabed after the dredging activity. Moreover, the in situ study revealed that this effect could be especially critical during spawning.por
