Comments: Mya arenaria is thought to have originally occupied the NWA, NEA, NEP, and NWP. During the<br />

Pleistocene glaciation, it went extinct in the NEP, from southeast Alaska south, and the NEA (Strasser, 1999). It was<br />

subsequently reintroduced to the U.S. Pacific coast with oyster shipments from the NWA.<br />
