Physiological measurements (ingestion, egestion, respiration and excretion) are monthly carried out in laboratory. We observe that reproductive metabolism influences the results. The energy budget of this cockle population, based on a biomass and production estimate for a 15 x 10 super(6) sq.m. area, is calculated and discussed. PY 1991 PD NOV CT Actes de colloques. Ifremer.
