• ... that temperature and salinity variations produced by ocean tides and freshwater rivers in estuaries (pictured) make them ideal habitats for studying how these factors affect the growth of shells?

• Article looks good although it's origin (an essay-like AFC submission) gave me pause. Nonetheless, the original text does not appear to be a copyvio and Epipelagic's top-to-bottom workover of the article was excellent. Spot-checked refs (including several applying directly to the hook) look OK, and I feel confident of the overall quality given Epipelagic's thorough work-over of the article. Age, length, hook all check out. Guettarda (talk) 16:29, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
