The burrowing and movement ability of the New Zealand cockle Austrovenus stutchburyi is reduced when infected by echinostome trematodes. Previous experimental evidence from a single site suggests that this parasite-induced behavioural change of a key bivalve can affect the structure of the surrounding benthic community. By using multiple regression analyses on data collected from 17 intertidal ...

Effort towards preserving natural coarse aggregate for future generation and reducing cockle shell waste originating from the fisheries industry has initiated studies on possibility of integrating this waste in concrete production. This paper presents the result on the workability and compressive strength of concrete containing various percentage of cockle shell content as partial coarse aggreg...

The present study describes the synthesis and characterization of a hydroxyapatite (HAp)-based adsorbent derived from biogenic cockle (Anadara granosa) shells for defluoridation drinking water. raw synthesized HAp were characterized by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron mic...
