Castaldelli, G., Mantovani, S., Welsh, D. T., Rossi, R., Mistri, M., & Fano, E. A. (2003). Impact of commercial clam harvesting on water column and sediment physicochemical characteristics and macrobenthic community structure in a lagoon (Sacca di Goro) of the Po River Delta.
Paper abstract:The Sacca di Goro is a hypertrophic lagoon of the Po river Delta, which is heavily exploited for rearing ofthe Manila clam, Tapes philippinarum. Harvesting of the clams could add to the general disturbance regime in the lagoon through damage to the benthic community, the release of porewater nutrients which could fuel macroalgal growth and of reduced compounds from the sediment leading to depletion of water column oxygen.
