Clam Populations in Canada
A study of a Clam Population and its Possible Future Population Size from 2012-2016.
Introduction
The first balanced marine aquarium, was created by Anne Thynne, in 1846; maintained strong corals and seaweed species for three years. Since then, the aquarium has become customary within pisciculture industries, tourism and domestic households, and has enabled the production of fish species to be harvested for commercial use, through the arrival of larger industrial fish tanks. The arrival of fish tanks, have introduced the process of aquaculture to industry. As I have an avid interest in marine biology, this project enhances my knowledge in the processes of aquaculture; the required tank sizes and monitoring the population of a clam within the tanks or aquariums. Fisheries are an important source and alternative for the production and origin fish stocks with the world, as the fish populations within the ocean are depleting, rapidly. Therefore, this is also, a mean for me to investigate the logistics of breeding and observing a clam population, so that I understand the process that I might later pursue into a career.
Plan
This project allows me to explore the nature of marine biology projects, in relation to the subject of aquaculture; the breeding of clams. This will be done through calculating the linear regression (stage 1 of calculations) and correlation coefficient (stage 2) from Canadian Aquaculture Production Statistics1. The data used from the Canadian Aquaculture website, shows the overall production of Clams within Canada, since the introduction of commercial aquaculture. The data will be graphed on Autograph2, with the calculated linear regression line. Then, the linear regression shall be extrapolated to find the population size in the subsequent years after 2011(to 2016). The correlation coefficient is used to determine the strength of a trend in the population of the Clams within Canada, and
