Body-Shell Dimension Relations and Growth Parameters of the Invasive Ark Clam (Anadara inaequavalvis) in Turkish Coast of the Black Sea
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Maritime and Marine Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper, the relationship between body-shell dimensions and growth parameters of ark clam (Anadara inaequavalvis Bruguière, 1789) were estimated for the Black Sea. At the end of this research, there was a significant relationship between body size and shell dimensions. In addition to this, the Von Bertalanffy growth parameters were found as L∞=8.61 mm, K= 0.25 and t0= -0.43 yr-1. Mortality rates were also analyzed for the ark clam as Z= 0.95 yr-1, M= 0.77 yr-1, F= 0.18 yr-1. This research is important in terms of the first study of body-shell dimension relationships and mortality rates for Anadara inaequavalvis from the Black Sea. The ark clam can use a descriptor for the Good Environmental Status (GES) according to Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) 2th Task Group in European Commission.
