Size comparison of quadrats in sample of non-native bivalve Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) (Bivalvia: Corbiculidae)Comparação de tamanhos de quadrats na amostragem do bivalve não-nativo Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) (Bivalvia: Corbiculidae)
(Panamjas, 2013)
We aimed to designate which is the best quadrat area to be used in sampling of C. fluminea for determination of their population parameters. The quadrat of 0.0625 m2 showed the best cost efficiency and a lowest sampling ...
