Abstract: The blood cockle, Tegillarca granosa (Linnaeus, 1758), is the most popular sowing aquaculture commodity in Southeast Asian countries. The west coast of Peninsular Malaysia is popular for blood cockle aquaculture, but production has reproduction and minimizing mortality during the culturing process. The production

blood cockle aquaculture on the Selangor coast, and an outline of the problems found the author introduces a measure based on the Satoumi concept, which is spreading in Japan.

Abstrak: Kerang, Tegillarca granosa (Linnaeus, 1758), adalah komoditi akuakultur yang paling popular di negara-negara Asia Tenggara. Pantai barat Semenanjung Malaysia terkenal dengan akuakultur kerang, tetapi pengeluarannya menurun dengan ketara di pesisir Selangor dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan. Untuk mencapai pengeluaran yang mampan di pesisir, adalah perlu untuk mengekalkan persekitaran yang sesuai untuk pembiakan dan meminimumkan kematian semasa proses kultur. Masalah pengeluaran dipengaruhi oleh pelbagai perubahan persekitaran seperti kualiti air dan mendapan dasar di tapak akuakultur, dan langkah-langkah pencegahan yang berkesan sedang dicari. Dalam artikel ulasan ini, berkaitan perubahan iklim di

Selain itu, sebagai salah satu cara untuk memikirkan langkah-langkah pemuliharaan alam sekitar untuk kawasan akuakultur, penulis memperkenalkan ukuran berdasarkan konsep Satoumi, yang tersebar di Jepun.

Tegillarca granosa (also known as granosa) is commonly called blood et al. 2011, 2013; Taniguchi et al.

Long-term weather data for Penang, Sitiawan and Malacca - which are the main grounds for blood cockle aquaculture in Peninsular Malaysia - were obtained from the Japan Meteorological Agency (https://www.data.jma.go.jp/gmd/cpd/monitor/ index.html).

Thus, monthly rainfall on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia showed a declining trend of 0.18 and 0.924 mm for Penang and contrast, Sitiawan showed an increasing trend of 5.736 mm after 10 years, and a possible rainfall increases of 28.68 mm after 50 years.

In addition, the concept of Satoumi that is becoming popular in Japan will be useful for realizing such management of aquaculture areas.
