This recruitment event created a novel fishery in adjacent Bonriki. Until June 1993 the venerid clam Gafrarium pectinatum (Linne, 1758) was the main targeted species in the Bonriki-Temaiku area where, on the wide sand flat, it is particularly abundant (Paulay, 2001). Anadara did not occur in catches from this area at that time. Interviews with resident gatherers established that te bun were unknown in the Bonriki- Temaiku area during the past 20 years even though there is a well developed seagrass bed on the lagoonal margin of the sand flat that appeared to be reasonable Anadara habitat. By February 1994, when the new recruits increased to a harvcstable size (Fig. 5), gathering activity shifted almost completely from Gafrarium to Anadara. a preferred food because of its larger size as well as its great abundance at the time. This shift also involved a move by gatherers from mid-sand flat Gafrarium habitat to the.
