Simulated depuration trials with Manila clams. Tapes philippinarum Adams and Reeve, were undertaken to test the effect of stocking density, seasonal temperature, water flow rate, salinity and the addition of cultured algae on oxygen levels and some other variables of water quality. Equations produced by multilinear regression analysis provided useful systems‐management information for predicting the conditions required to maintain oxygen levels within known limits for satisfactory depuration of other commercial species of bivalve molluscs in temperate climates.
