B. 2011. Shell strength and fishing damage to the smooth clam (Callista chione): simulating impacts caused by bivalve dredging. \u2013 ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 32\u201342. The smooth clam Callista chione is exploited by a fleet of dredgers along the southwestern coast of Portugal and suffers from a high incidence of shell damage. The force required to break C. chione shells in relation to fishing impacts and dredge damage is quantified. Fishing trials and shell-strength measurements (compression and compaction experiments) were performed to determine whether shell damage was attributable to the direct impact of the dredge teeth or to sediment compaction. A three-dimensional model of C. chione was subjected to simulated force by the finite element method. Analyses of damage areas and breakage patterns revealed two groups of samples, one containing the samples from compression experiments and another with the samples from dredging and compaction experiments, suggesting that most shell damage was attributable to compaction within the sediment. Information is provided to help improve the design of bivalve dredges, by increasing both length and angle of the dredge teeth, which would reduce the compaction force and distribute it differentially within the sediment, forcing upward movement of the bivalves.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/icesjms\/fsq149","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,18]],"date-time":"2010-10-18T21:21:49Z","timestamp":1287436909000},"page":"32-42","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Shell strength and fishing damage to the smooth clam (Callista chione): simulating impacts caused by bivalve dredging"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Paulo","family":"Vasconcelos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Recursos Biol\u00f3gicos (INRB, I.P.) \/ IPIMAR, Avenida 5 de Outubro s\/n, P-8700-305 Olh\u00e3o, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Morgado-Andr\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Engenharia Civil (DEC), Instituto Superior de Engenharia (ISE), Universidade do Algarve (UAlg), Campus da Penha, P-8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Morgado-Andr\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Engenharia Civil (DEC), Instituto Superior de Engenharia (ISE), Universidade do Algarve (UAlg), Campus da Penha, P-8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Miguel B.","family":"Gaspar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Recursos Biol\u00f3gicos (INRB, I.P.) \/ IPIMAR, Avenida 5 de Outubro s\/n, P-8700-305 Olh\u00e3o, Portugal"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019081300361402100_FSQ149C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"487","DOI":"10.1007\/s00227-002-0977-4","article-title":"How to toughen up your mussels: using mussel shell morphological plasticity to reduce predation losses","volume":"142","author":"Beadman","year":"2003","journal-title":"Marine Biology"},{"key":"2019081300361402100_FSQ149C2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-0981(82)90175-7","article-title":"Mechanical and behavioral aspects of blue crab, Callinectes sapidus (Rathbun), predation on Chesapeake Bay bivalves","volume":"65","author":"Blundon","year":"1982","journal-title":"Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology"},{"key":"2019081300361402100_FSQ149C3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00393053","article-title":"Effect of shell repair on shell strength in the gastropod Littorina irrorata","volume":"76","author":"Blundon","year":"1983","journal-title":"Marine Biology"},{"key":"2019081300361402100_FSQ149C4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1023495326473","article-title":"The effect of calcium concentration on the crushing resistance, weight and size of Biomphalaria sudanica (Gastropoda: Planorbidae)","volume":"490","author":"Brodersen","year":"2003","journal-title":"Hydrobiologia"},{"key":"2019081300361402100_FSQ149C5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"123","DOI":"10.3354\/meps329123","article-title":"Shell-boring polychaetes affect gastropod shell strength and crab predation","volume":"329","author":"Buschbaum","year":"2007","journal-title":"Marine Ecology Progress Series"},{"key":"2019081300361402100_FSQ149C6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"585","DOI":"10.1007\/s00227-006-0379-0","article-title":"Compressibility and shell failure in the European Atlantic Patella limpets","volume":"150","author":"Cabral","year":"2007","journal-title":"Marine Biology"},{"key":"2019081300361402100_FSQ149C7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"577","DOI":"10.1017\/S0025315498000745","article-title":"Comparative study of the utilization of bacteria and microalgae by the suspension-feeding bivalve: Callista chione","volume":"79","author":"Charles","year":"1999","journal-title":"Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK"},{"key":"2019081300361402100_FSQ149C8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"187","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-7836(98)00159-3","article-title":"Shell strength in the cockle Cerastoderma edule L. under simulated fishing impacts","volume":"38","author":"Coffen-Smout","year":"1998","journal-title":"Fisheries Research"},{"key":"2019081300361402100_FSQ149C9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"301","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7998.1979.tb03417.x","article-title":"The effect of drying on the strength of mollusc shells","volume":"188","author":"Currey","year":"1979","journal-title":"Journal of Zoology"},{"key":"2019081300361402100_FSQ149C10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"183","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-751411-6.50015-1","article-title":"Shell form and strength","volume-title":"The Mollusca. 11.
