Fig. 2. Temperature recordings in the field at Neguac, Miramichi Bay (New Brunswick, Canada), at two tidal locations from 11 August until 6 October 2003. Subtidal temperature monitoring continued in the field until 16 May 2004, and temperature was monitored in the laboratory holding tank from 6 October 2003 until 16 May 2004. Filled circles indicate clam samplings. (A) Mean daily temperature at intertidal and subtidal locations and in the laboratory. (B) Standard deviation of temperatures at intertidal and subtidal locations.
