23. In contrast, lab-reared Washington and Oregon whelks held with only M. trossulus drilled more mussels per day than did California whelks [mean ± SEM, 0.317 ± 0.019, 0.309 ± 0.040, and 0.167 ± 0.028; Washington, Oregon, and California, respectively; analysis of variance (ANOVA), P = 0.007].
24. The scarcity of failed boreholes suggests that northern whelks may differ in their sensory recognition of M. californianus as a food source, rather than in their radula or ability to drill.

28. Although M. californianus are also less abundant in California than in Oregon (20), recruitment is sufficient to maintain mussel beds in both regions.
