Using the ohgr parameter computed from the von Bertalanffy growth equation, we quantitatively compared rates of annual shell grwoth among the hard clams <i>Mercenaria mercenaria, M. campechiensis</i>, and their hybrids sampled from a variety of habitats in the Indian River lagoon, Florida, USA, a zone of species overlap and natural hybridization. Our results indicate that the classical paradigm describing hard clam growth, in which growth rate is fastest in <i>M. campechiensis</i>, intermediate in hybrids, and slowest in <i>M. mercenaria</i> is not supported in the Indian River lagoon. Instead, <i>M. campechiensis</i> has a growth advantage in deep-water habitats in the northern section of our study area. In the central and southern sections of our study area, hybrids have a growth advantage over <i>M. mercenaria</i> in shallow-water habitats, but <i>M. mercenaria</i> has a growth advantage over hybrids in deep-water habitats. In all other sampled habitats, either growth rate among genotype classes is equal, or <i>M. mercenaria</i> has a growth advantage. This complex relationship between genotype and habitat-specific growth provides a mechanism for selection to act on hard clams in the Indian River.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Genotype-specific growth of hard clams (genus <i>Mercenaria</i>) in a hybrid zone: variation among habitats","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-14 01:31:18.063320","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":1996,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2009-04-14","DateCreate":"2009-04-14","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:A1996UD84100013","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1007/BF00350767"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":133720,"PubliDate":1996,"Pagination":"129-139","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"125","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43352,"SerRR":"Marine Biology: International Journal on Life in Oceans and Coastal Waters.
