Estimations of density distributions and growth rate were made. Commencing in June 1976 samples were collected at three monthly intervals from two sites in Sullom Voe, and from Cat Firth in 1977, to investigate the seasonal variations in flesh and biochemical content. The data indicate that Shetland Modiolus are generally similar in their biology to those from Scottish lochs, and are liable to considerable variation between and within populations, with groups responding to the environmental variations of very local extent. A list of animals found associated with Modiolus and their byssus complexes is given [not entered onto Marine Recorder as species were not relevant to this contract]. As no effort was made to collect fauna systematically or quantitatively, the list is not comprehensive. This survey was collated by MarLIN as part of a data collation contract for species on the provisional list of Nationally Important Marine Features.
