Spectral analysis made on the Chl a concentration measured in August 2004 indicated similar tidal constituents as for September 2004 ( Table2 ); the difference in the frequency number is due to the distance between the sites. The combination of the reconstructed tidal constituents (M2,M4, and K1)ofthe Chl a concentration from August 2004 leads to a predicted line that matched strongly the one calculated for the mean percentage VA, with the presence of a second peak in the Chl a concentration and feeding behavior at high flood velocity (Fig....

On the other hand, spectral analysis of starfish abundance (A. rubens) revealed two significant tidal components: M2 and a more pronounced M4 component ( Table2 ).

These analyses showed that none of the environmental variables was synchronized (best correlation for time lag .10 min) and there was great variation in the lag phase among them (from 2120 min to +340 min) ( Table3 ).

The combination of the asymmetrical tidal regime of the Menai Strait (Fig. 2) and the use of appropriate analytical tools (predictions via harmonic analyses and cross-correlations) enabled us to discriminate Chl a concentration asynchronies from all the other measured physical variables ( Table3 ). For example, at our sampling site, high tide was not synchronized with slack water and it took 90 min (time lag between high Chl a concentration and high velocity at ebb) for the water rich in Chl a from Liverpool Bay to reach the point where it began to pass above the mussel bed when the tide changed to ebb flow because of advection (Fig.... ..."
