| Résumé : | The aim of this study was to examine the impact of bioturbation by the Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, on sediment stability. A laboratory benthic annular flume system (AFS) was deployed to evaluate the relationship between sediment stability of a subtidal mudflat and density of the infaunal clam under the influence of different current velocities. There was a significant correlation between mean erosion rate and current velocities in all treatments with clams (p |
