Adjustments to constant size were made from monthly regressions for each size class (juvenile and adult) of volumetric growth against initial shell volume for all surviving individuals in that month. Scales are adjusted to permit an approximate superimposition of the two plots. Sample sizes for each mean can be obtained from Table I. juvenile Mercenaria (Fig. 1) were not biased by mortality selecting according to growth rate over the 12-month period. To estimate mean monthly growth in mass adjusted for a clam of constant initial size, we first regressed mass against volume for each of the 13 months, calculating a separate linear regression equation for juvenile and adult size classes. These regres- sions (Table III) used all individual clams pooled from both of the replicate enclo- sures. For each month, we then used (1) the observed mass-volume relationship for.
