Abstract
Most short-neck clams in Hokkaido live in its eastern part. Zostera beds are frequently found around tideland inhabited by short-neck clams. Their habitats are therefore extremely limited. The reclamation of short-neck clams' fishing ground is being promoted accordingly. Fishing ground reclamation is conducted by taking into account the height of ground with high habitat density as that of reclamation ground. This research examined the relationship between the growth of short-neck clams and ground height (tideland emerging time). Results showed that, in the research period, the ground height with better growth of short-neck clams occurred when the tideland emerging time was up to three hours daily on average. When tideland emerging time was longer, growth was less noticeable.
