서식환경에 따른 피조개 Scapharca broughtonii의 성장과 글리코겐 및 헤모글로빈량의 변화

Effect of Environmental Factors on the Growth, Glycogen and Hemoglobin Content of Cultured Arkshell, Scapharca broughtonii

서식 환경 조사 결과 수온은 1992년에는 웅촌이, 1993 년에는 송도가 높았으며, 염분은 1992년 1월에서 5월을 제외하고는 송도 양식장이 더 높았다. 부유물질과 chlorophyll a 함량 및 저질내 COD는 송도가 높았고, DO, DIP, DIN 및 저질내 총황화물은 웅촌이 높았다. 피조개의 성장과 생리 상태를 분석한 결과, 성장, 연체부지수, 체내 글리코겐 함량과 헤모글로빈 함량 모두 송도의 피조개가 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 또한 송도의 피조개가 생식소 발달도 빨랐다. 본 시험에서 피조개 성장과 생리상태에 영향을 미치는 가장 큰 환경 요인은 먹이생물의 양과 저질의 총황화물량으로 추정되었다.

For the sustainable production of cultured arkshell Scapharca broughtonii and pre-estimation of the harvest of it, we investigated the relationship between the habitat environmental factors and the physiological conditions of the arkshell in the two experiment sites near the Chinhae Bay, Korea. For the analysis of habitat environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, DIP (dissolved inorganic phosphate), DIN (dissolved inorganic nitrogen), suspended solids and chlorophyll a of bottom water and T-S (total sulfide) and COD (chemical oxygen demand) of surface sediment were measured, To determine physiolosical condition of cultured arkshell, shell length, fatness, glycogen, hemoglobin content and gametogenesis were examined. Water temperature were higher in Woongchon than in Songdo in 1992, and were Higher in Songdo in 1993. Salinity were higher in Songdo than in Woongchon except from January to May in 1992. COD, suspended solids and chlorophyll a content were higher in Songdo than in Woongchon, while the contents of sediment sulfide, DO, DIP and DIN were higher in Woongchon. Based on the environmental assessment, significant factors affecting the growth and physiological condition of arkshell were quantity of food and total sulfide content in the bottom sediment.
