Abstract



This research was carried out in
Karantina Island to find pearl oyster (Pinctada
radiata Leach, 1814) spat collection efficiency of bag and shell collector
types. Environmental limits such as temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a, and
total particulate matter (TPM) were monitored during the study period. The
abundance of P.radiata spat were
found on the bag collector as 11.66±2.08 ind./0.91m2 at the first
time in August. At the same month the highest temperature and salinity were
recorded as 27 ºC and 36.5‰, respectively. G2 (group 2/deployed on June 25)
performed the highest spat collection for the bag collectors while G4 (deployed
on August 29) for the shell collector was more successful during the research.
A total of 172±34.39 P. radiata spat
were collected during the study. 119±22.60 (69.18%) individuals (ind) were
harvested from bag collector and 53±11.78 (30.82%) from shell collector. While
the avarege abundance of P. radiata
spat were 7.26 ind./m2 on bag collectors, it was 3.23 ind./m2
on the shell collectors. A significant difference was determined in the total
abundance of P. radiata between the
collector groups (p<0.05). The length range of Pinctada spat on the bag
collectors was between 4.47- 33.9 mm while it was 4.66-18 mm on the shell
collectors. Fouling organisms (barnacles, polychaete, bryozoa) and predators
(crabs, gastropods) of pearl oyster were also found on the collector groups.
Results of the study established that bag collectors were more effective to
collect the pearl oyster spat than the shell collectors.

Abstract



Bu çalışma torba ve kabuk kolektör tipleriyle ışınlı inci
istiridyesi (Pinctada radiata, Leach
1814) spatlarının toplama verimliliğini bulmak için Karantina Adası’nda
gerçekleştirildi. Kolektörler altı grup olarak hazırlandı ve uzun halat sistemi
üzerine yerleştirildi. Sıcaklık, tuzluluk, klorofil-a ve toplam partikül madde
miktarı gibi çevresel parametreler çalışma periyodu boyunca izlendi. P. radiata spatı ilk olarak Ağustos
ayında torba kolektörlerde 11,66±2,08 birey/0,91 m2, kabuk kolektörlerde
ise 2,33±1,52 birey/0,91 m2 olarak tespit edildi. Aynı ayda en
yüksek sıcaklık ve tuzluluk değerleri sırasıyla 27 °C ve ‰ 36,5 olarak kayıt
edildi. Çalışma boyunca, torba kolektörlerde en iyi spat toplama performansını
Grup 2 (G2-25 Haziran’da yerleştirildi) gösterirken, kabuk kolektörde G4 (29
Ağustos’ta yerleştirildi) daha başarılı olmuştur. Toplamda 172±34,39 spat
toplandı. 119±22,60 (69.18%) spat torba kolektörlerle toplanırken, 53±11.78
(30.82%) spat kabuk kolektörlerle toplandı. Ortlama 7,26 birey/m2
Pinctada spatı torba kolektörlerde, 3,23 birey/m2 kabuk kolektörde
belirlenmiştir. Kolektör grupları arasında toplam spat bulunma farkının önemli
derecede anlamlı çıktığı görülmüştür (p<0,05). Torba kolektörler üzerinde
bulunan Pinctada spatlarının boy aralığı 4,47-33,9 mm arasında değişirken,
kabuk kolektörler üzerinde bulunan spatların boy aralığı 4,66-18 mm arasında
değişim gösterdi. Fouling organizmalar (Balanus, Poliket, Bryozoa) ve predatör
türler de (yengeç ve gastropod) kolektör gruplarında bulundu. Çalışma sonucunda
torba kolektörlerin kabuk kolektörlere oranla daha verimli olduğu
belirlenmiştir.
