    Abstract
    Three questions were asked about the population of the Pacific razor clam Siliqua patula (Dixon) on eastside Cook Inlet beaches: (1) can density be estimated by a three-stage stratified random sampling plan; (2) can age composition data be used for age-structured population estimation; (3) does substrate composition affect clam density? Field studies of Coho, Ninilchik and Clam Gulch beaches obtained precise density estimates for Clam Gulch beach only (coefficient of variation = 14.6%, 1988, and cv = 13.6%, 1989). A heavily exploited area of high density at Clam Gulch was resampled extensively in 1989 to determine if a significant harvest rate was detectable. No significant harvest rate was detected. A catch-at-age model was successfully applied to age-structured data, and estimates of abundance for ages 4 through 11+ in years 1977 to 1989 were generated. There is some evidence from substrate analyses that clams are found in higher abundance where grain sizes 0.125 to 0.400 mm predominate.
