Bioecological Aspects of Mudclams Anodontia Edentula

What is it about?

Data were analyzed to see the difference in the two locations using t-test analysis (student) and descriptive.The analysis showed that mangrove ecosystems in Tobea island, the closure of the (51%) and density (1.000 trees ha-1), in coastal Lambiku close (43%) and density (944 trees ha-1). Biological aspects of the growing population of mud clams in the Tobea Island (L∞= 65.6 mm, K= 1.18) lower than in coastal Lambiku (L∞= 73,75 mm, K= 0.73). Results of the t-test (student), morphometric characters of mud clams in Tobea Island and coastal Lambiku significantly different. The length-weight relationship of mud clams of sex male and female in the Tobea Island and coastal Lambiku positive allometric (b ≠ 3). Relative condition factor and sex ratio of mud clams in Tobea Island, significantly different between male and female in coastal Lambiku. The size of the first measure of mature gonads of mud clams in Tobea Island (average of 39,62 mm ranges of 39,20 - 40,04 mm) is lower than in coastal Lambiku (average of 39,58 mm, the range of 39,21 - 39,96 mm). The density of mud clams of the Tobea Island (the highest 48 ind m-2, the lowest of the 21 ind m-2) is greater than coastal Lambiku (the highest 15.67 ind m-2, the lowest 5,67 ind m-2). Bioecological aspects of mud clams in Tobea Island affected by organic carbon and phosphate. While in coastal Lambiku affected by nitrogen and sulfur by both the growth and density.
