Abstract

The length-weight relationship and condition index of pokea clams in the Laeya River are not fully known. This study was aimed to determine the length-weight relationship and condition index of pokea clams in the Laeya River, Southeast Sulawesi. This research was conducted 10 months from May 2016 to February 2017 in the Laeya River, Southeast Sulawesi. Pokea clams are collected using a shovel. The length and weight of each clam was using calipers and analytical scales with accuracy of 0.05 mm and 0.01 g, respectively. The weight of the shell and dried meat was obtained by drying the shells first using an oven and weighing using an analytical balance with an accuracy of 0.01 g and 0.0001 g, respectively. The results showed that the relationship between length and weight of pokea clams in males and females were 2.61 and 2.78, respectively; with R2 values of 0.89 and 0.93, respectively. The highest b values for males and females were found in July with values of 3.03 and 2.94, respectively. The lowest b value was found in November with values of 2.45 and 2.46, respectively. The condition index values for males and females were 4.7 ± 2.2 and 5.17 ± 2.32, respectively. The highest condition index was found in May with values of 6.00 ± 3.07 and 7.83 ± 2.55, respectively. The condition index values for males and females increased with increasing shell size. Male and female at the largest size (6.01-6.05 cm) had the highest index with values of 8.05 ± 6.41 and 9.12 ± 3.38, respectively. In conclusions, the growth was negative allometric pattern, condition index was in fat category, and had peak spawning in July and experienced partial spawning in September-February.

Abstract

The Tapulaga waters, located in Soropia, Southeast Sulawesi, are among the coastal waters with significant potential for the seven-eyed abalone (Haliotis asinina). This species is a herbivorous gastropod that primarily consumes natural food sources such as periphyton and macroalgae. This study aims to determine the size distribution of H. asinina and analyze the presence of periphyton on seagrass leaves and macroalgal thalli. Sampling was conducted over six months in the Tapulaga waters of Soropia, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, using a simple random sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The results indicate that the highest percentage of size distribution was observed in the range of 37.544.5 mm, comprising 34% of the total population. The population was categorized into two size groups: juveniles ( 49 mm) and adults ( 50 mm). Juveniles accounted for 75% of the total H. asinina population, while adults comprised 25%. A total of 11 periphyton species from three taxonomic classes Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, and Trebouxiophyceaewere identified on the seagrass species Enhalus acoroides and the macroalgae Gracilaria salicornia, Padina sp., Halimeda sp., Galaxaura sp., and Gelidium sp. The identified periphyton species included Aulacoseira sp., Nitzschia sp., Synedra sp., Diatoma sp., Fragilaria sp., Navicula sp., Pinnularia sp., Melosira sp., Lyngbya sp., Planctonema sp., and Cocconeis sp. Six of these periphyton species were present on both seagrass and macroalgal thalli. Synedra sp. was the most dominant species, exhibiting the highest abundance at 88,876 individuals/cm. The presence of periphyton as a natural food source attached to seagrass leaves and macroalgal thalli plays a crucial role in supporting the juvenile H. asinina population.Keywords:H. asininaMacroalgaePeriphytonTapulaga
