چکیده

The effects of salinity on the embryonic and larvae stage of Crassostrea iredalei were investigated. Fertilised eggs and one day old D-larvae were subjected to salinities ranging from 0 to 30 ppt at temperature of 30±2°C. At salinity lower than 10 ppt, 100% mortality was observed. For embryo development, the highest survival was observed at salinity 25 ppt with 80.9±2.2% survival with no significant difference compared to 15 and 30 ppt. Shell height and length were both greatest at salinity 30 ppt. Throughout the 11 days culture, the highest larval survival occurred at salinity 15 ppt with no significant difference compared to all other salinities except 10 ppt. Larval shell sizes showed no significant differences between salinities, except for 10 ppt. Optimum culture condition for larvae growth are salinities ranging from 15 to 30 ppt whereby the larval of this species can tolerate wider range of salinity compared to other oyster species and thus, making it a competitive species to be cultured.

Assessment of Temperature Effects on Early Larval Development Survival of Hatchery-reared Tropical Oyster, Crassostrea iredalei.

The influence of the cool and warm temperatures on early life development and survival of tropical oyster, Crassostrea iredalei was studied. D-hinged larvae (day 1 larvae) were reared to three different temperatures (20°C, 27°C, and 34°C) for nine days. Oyster larvae reared in temperature 27°C, acted as control (ambient temperature). The highest survival rate occurred when the larvae were reare...

Development of Crassostrea belcheri (Sowerby, 1871), Crassostrea iredalei (Faustino, 1932) and inter-specific cross spats at different salinity

Hybrids between Crassostrea belcheri (CB) and C. iredalei (CI) were produce to evaluate their aquaculture potential. These inter and intra-specific crosses consisted of CB♀XCB♂, CI♀XCI♂, CB♀XCI♂ and CI♀XCB♂. To evaluate their environmental preferences, the spats of 40 day-old were cultured in 10, 20 and 30 ppt for 30 days. Hybrids showed significantly higher (p<0.05) shell increment when cultur...

The interactions of circulation and growth processes in determining the horizontal distribution of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) larvae in the Delaware Bay estuary were investigated with a coupled circulation-individual-based larvae model that used environmental conditions from the spawning seasons (mid-June to mid-September) of 1984, 1985, 1986, 2000, and 2001. Particles, representing...

Combined effects of temperature-salinity on larval survival of the Eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica in the Maryland portion f the Chesapeake Bay (USA)

AB5TRACT Oyster landings in the Maryland portion of the Chesapeake Bay have declined by more than 50­ fold since the early part of the century, despite intensive management efforts. The am\ual shell repletion program is the most critical programmatic element to effect recovery of the ailing Eastern oyster Crassotrea Tlirginica stock and fishery. The overall efficacy of shell repletion managemen...

Cases of hemic neoplasia in the Philippine slipper oyster (Crassostrea iredalei) have been confirmed from a one-year histology-based disease survey conducted in Dagupan City. Samples were collected on a quarterly basis from the BFAR-NIFTDC demonstration farm and processed for histopathology. Slides were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) or Feulgen picromethyl blue (FPM) as required. Of...
