The principal concept of this research is that the                         combination of a spring pulse of detrital addition to estuarine                 sediments and relatively low temperatures maximize the production               of animal biomass.  The nutritive value of the sediment is                      hypothesized to be low, except just after the detrital addition                 in the spring.   This study will assess seasonal changes in the                 nutritional value of sediment under experimental conditions of                  varying temperature and detrital addition; it will seek to                      understand how sediment nutritional value changes.   The                        conversion of sediment carbon and nitrogen to animal flesh will                 be compared with the conversion efficiency from detritus.  The                  importance of the anoxic zone as a factor limiting the depth of                 feeding access will also be investigated.
