Comparison of Some Aspects of Morphological and Reproductive of Blood Cockle (Anadaragranosa L.) in the Intertidal of Kupang Bay, West Timor, Indonesia
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Blood cockle (Anadaragranosa L.) is the one commodity that is important for coastal communities in Kupang Bay, West Timor, Indonesia. This study aimed to compare some aspects of morphology and reproductive blood cockle between locations that have been long period exploited (Villages of Oebelo and Tanah Merah) and location that have been short period exploited (Village of Noelbaki) in the region of Kupang Bay. The method used in this research was surveyed by using line transect technique. The results of this study found that morphological aspects of blood cockles based observations covering its morphometric i.e. size shell length, weight, condition index, the gonadal index in the Oebelo Village and the Tanah Merah Village has a lower value than in the Village Noelbaki. Based on observations of aspects of reproductive known that blood cockles in the Oebelo Village and the Tanah Merah Village were dominated by the blood cockle males, more rapid in the process of sex maturation and gonad maturity, and more rapid transition gender from male to female, compared with blood cockle in the Noelbaki Village.
