Abstract

A heavy settlement of Pinctada sp. spat appeared suddenly on leaves of Cymodacea rotundata on Ocean Road Beach in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The settlement lasted for six weeks only and then disappeared. It was the first such heavy recruitment of bivalve spat seen in the area since regular visits to the beach started in 1971.
