Comparison of the morphometric character of mud clams Anodontia edentula

What is it about?

The objective of the research was to aim the morphometric characters of mud clams, Anodontia edentula Linnaeus, 1758 in Tobea Island and in the coast of Lambiku, Napabalano District of Muna Regency. The research carried out in Tobea island and in the coast of Lambiku was to analyze morphometrics character of mud clams. Data were analyzed to perceive the comparison of morphometrics characters of mud clams in Tobea island and in the coast of Lambiku by using t-test (student) and descriptive analysis. The results of t-test (student) analysis showed morphometric characters of mud clams in Tobea Island and in the coast of Lambiku significantly different as indicated by the t-value is greater than t-tables at the confidence level (=0.05). The morphometric characters of mud clams between the male sex in Tobea island and male in the coast of Lambiku different significantly as indicated by the t-value is greater than t-tables at the confidence level (=0.05). The morphometric characters of mud clams at the confidence level at the male sex in Tobea island and female in the coast of Lambiku significantly different as indicated by the t-value is greater than t-table. For morphometric characters, mud clams in Tobea island of female and male sex significantly different in the coast of Lambiku as indicated by the t-value are greater than t-table. Morphometric characters in a female of mud clams in Tobea Island and female gender were significantly different in the coast of Lambiku. Morphometric characters of mud clams in Tobea Island tend to be smaller than in the coast of Lambiku which the mud clams there tends to be larger.
