The fine-scale density distribution of Chione stutchburyi Finlay, 1927 (Bivalvia Veneridae) was studied in a soft shore estuarine lagoon. A pilot survey of density variability was made using a hierarchical sampling procedure. Densities were compared within and between 3 sampling locations, and within-site variability was shown to be important. Fine-scale spatial and temporal variability for a single systematically sampled site over a 30 mo survey period was examined using autocorrelation techniques. The advantages of systematic sampling and autocorrelation techniques for the detection and description of spatial and temporal patterns are discussed.
