  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Corbicula manilensis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was found in the gizzards of 24 ducks of 5 species taken from the James River, Virginia, between 1973 and 1976. Percent average volume in these species ranged from trace to 6%. This is the first known occurrence of this exotic clam in the food of duck in Chesapeake Bay. A total of 135 other food items was identified from the 116 gizzards of 9 species that were examined. Food that predominated included &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cyperus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;spp.,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Leersia oryzoides, Polygonum&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;spp., and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Zea mays&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;. The great diversity of food consumed in this fresh tidal section of the James River indicates the high value of these wetlands to waterfowl.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
