    OLEH: MARIA ULFAH C551090101 MAYOR ILMU KELAUTAN SEKOLAH PASCASARJANA INSTITUT PERTANIAN BOGOR 2010 EKOLOGI DAN SISTEM REPRODUKSI KERANG KIMA (TRIDACNIDAE) MARIA ULFAH (C5510(C5510901019010190101)))) Ilmu Kelautan, Institut Pertanian Bogor PENDAHULUAN Berbagai jenis flora dan fauna hidup dan berkembang di lautan, baik di permukaan, di kolom dan juga di dasar perairan. Salah satu diantara biota tersebut ada kelompok bivalva yang dikenal dengan kerang raksasa. Disebut kerang raksasa adalah karena pertumbuhan cangkangnya dapat mencapai ukuran yang relatif sangat besar (mencapai 160 cm), kerang tersebut dikenal luas dengan sebutan kima. Kima merupakan makhluk laut tropis yang tersebar luas terutama di wilayah perairan Indo-Pasifik. Kima biasanya ditemukan hidup di daerah terumbu karang dengan sebaran dan ukuran yang berbeda-beda. Kima terdiri dari dua kelompok genus, yaitu Tridacna dan Hippopus . Kelompok Tridacna terdiri dari Tridacna crocea, T. derasa, T. gigas, T. maxima, T. verrucosa, T. rosewater, T. squamosa dan T. tevoroa . Sedangkan kelompok Hippopus terdiri dari Hippopus hippopus dan Hippopus porcellanus . Kima sudah cukup familiar dikalangan masyarakat Indonesia, khususnya masyarakat pesisir atau nelayan. Kima merupakan organisme bentik yang bernilai ekonomi tinggi, memiliki kandungan gizi tinggi dan nilai estetika yang menarik. Permintaan pasar yang tinggi dan harga yang menjanjikan menjadikan kima sangat potensial untuk dikembangkan secara komersil. Perdagangan kima kini lebih mengarah untuk keperluan industry aquarium hias air laut, dengan pertumbuhan mencapai 9% pada tahun 1993-2002 (Cheshire dan Valeriano, 2004). Saat ini permintaan terhadap Kima cukup besar, terutama dari Jepang. Akibat permintaan yang tinggi ini terjadilah eksploitasi berlebihan yang menyebabkan populasi hewan ini menurun. Beberapa spesies kima yang sudah sulit untuk ditemukan adalah Tridacna gigas, Tridacna derasa, Tridacna squamosa , maupun dari genus Hipoppus seperti Hipoppus porcelanus dan Hipoppus hipoppus .

Ils sont répartis dans des habitats constitués de récifs coralliens peu profonds, dans des eaux comprises entre 25°C et 30°C. La lumière est une ressource indispensable aux bénitiers. Elle permet la photosynthèse des zooxanthelles. Les zooxanthelles sont des algues symbiotiques situées dans le manteau et produisent des éléments nutritifs aux bénitiers. Depuis quelques années, la surpêche pour l’alimentation essentiellement destiné au marché asiatique a entrainé la disparition de certains stocks naturels. C’est pourquoi depuis 1983, les bénitiers toutes espèces confondues, ont été inscrits sur la convention internationale sur le commerce des espèces en danger, au niveau international. Lors de cette étude, nous allons analyser les techniques de transports de bénitiers pour le marché aquacole, au niveau local (transport inter-iles) mais également à plus grande échelle au niveau international afin de permettre de développer l’ouverture de nouvelles zones de productions, en améliorant les taux de survie. Toujours dans cette thématique de gestion de stocks de bénitiers, nous avons aussi réalisé un réensemencement en ile haute afin d’étudier la faisabilité et la viabilité de projets de repeuplement sur le long terme.

INTRODUCTION The shores of northern Moçambique are well within the tropics, reaching latitude IO0 S at the northern limit. Collections ol shore animals have been made from time to time and authors of taxonomic studies have frequently pointed out affinities of the fauna with that of the west Pacific. The coast is considered part of tile Indo-west-pacific province of Ekman. Tropical features such as confluent corai reefs, fields of Cymodocea on intertidal flats and zoned mangrove swamps persist as far south as Inhaca Island (latitude 26° S) in Southern Moçambique (Kalk, 1954 and 1958, Macxae and Kalk, 1958), aâ a result of the influence of the warm equatorial waters of the southward flowing Moçambique current. A number of tropical species intrude even into Natal in South Africa for the same reason (Stephexson 1944 and 1947, Smitii 1952 and 1959). But in Natal and to a lesser extent at Inhaca the gross facies of the upper levels of the rocky shores are not unlike wami temperate South African shores and might be termed sub-tropical in character.

STEPHEN C. JAMESON2 ABST RACT: Giant clams may be stimulated to spawn by the addition of macer­ ated gonads to the water.Individuals of Tridacna maxima collected at Anae Island, Guam, spawned from N ovember to March. On Palau, Hippopus hippopus spawned in June and Tridacna crocea, in July. Tridacna crocea, T. maxima, and H. hippopus displayed a stereotype d develop ment pattern in morphogenesis and rate of development . Fertilized eggs of T. crocea, T . maxima, and H. hippopus had mean diameters of 93.1, 104.5, and 130.0 psx», respectively . The day-2 straight-hinge veligers of T . crocea, T . maxima, and H. hippopus had mean shell lengths of 155.0, 168.0, and 174.4 pm, respec tively. Settlement occurred 12, 11, and 9 days after fertili zation at a mean shell length of 168.0, 195.0, and 202.0 pm for T . crocea,T . max ima, and H. bippopss, respectively. Metamorphosis was basically complete about 1 day after settlement. Juveniles of T . crocea, T. max ima, and H. hippopus first acqui re zooxanthellae after 19, 21, and 25 days, respectively. Growth rates increase sharply after the acquisition of zoo ­ xanthellae. Juvenile shells show first signs of becoming opaque after 47 days for T . maxima and after 50 days for H. hippopus.

Forsyth Research Associate, Invertebrate Zoology, Royal BC Museum, 675 Belleville Street, Victoria, BC V8W 9W2; [email protected] Rick M. Harbo Research Associate, Invertebrate Zoology, Royal BC Museum, 675 Belleville Street, Victoria BC V8W 9W2; [email protected] Last revised: 11 October 2013 INTRODUCTION Classification rankings are constantly under debate and review. The higher classification utilized here follows Bieler et al. (2010). Another useful resource is the online World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS; Gofas 2013) where the traditional ranking of Pteriomorphia, Palaeoheterodonta and Heterodonta as subclasses is used. This list includes 237 bivalve species from marine and freshwater habitats of British Columbia, Canada. Marine species (206) are mostly derived from Coan et al. (2000) and Carlton (2007). Freshwater species (31) are from Clarke (1981). Common names of marine bivalves are from Coan et al. (2000), who adopted most names from Turgeon et al. (1998); common names of freshwater species are from Turgeon et al. (1998). Changes to names or additions to the fauna since these two publications are marked with footnotes. Marine groups are in black type, freshwater taxa are in blue. Introduced (non-indigenous) species are marked with an asterisk (*). Marine intertidal species (n=84) are noted with a dagger (†). Quayle (1960) published a BC Provincial Museum handbook, The Intertidal Bivalves of British Columbia. Harbo (1997; 2011) provided illustrations and descriptions of many of the bivalves found in British Columbia, including an identification guide for bivalve siphons and “shows”. Lamb & Hanby (2005) also illustrated many species.

  • Genetic Variability in the Indonesian Giant Clam (Tridacna Crocea and Tridacna Maxima) Populations: Implication for Mariculture and Restocking Program
    Genetic Variability in the Indonesian Giant Clam (Tridacna crocea and Tridacna maxima) Populations: Implication for Mariculture and Restocking Program Agus Nuryanto1, Dedy Duryadi2, Dedi Soedharma3, Dietmar Blohm4 1 Faculty of Biology, Jenderal Soedirman University, Purwokerto 2 Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Life Sciences, Bogor Agriculture University 3 Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Bogor Agriculture University 4 Department of Biotechnology and Molecular Genetics, FB2-UFT, University of Bremen Abstract Tridacna crocea and T. maxima are relatively abundant in the Indonesian coral reef. These two species are, however, under high presure due to exploitation for food, industry, and aquarium trade. It is, therefore, necessary to understand their biology, such as genetic variability within and between populations, before utilizing them for strain improvement and restocking, prior to the extinction of the populations of T. crocea and T. maxima. Here we amplified a length of 456 bp of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase I gene from Tridacna crocea and of 484 bp from T. maxima to asses the genetic variability within and between populations of both species. The results showed that both species have high genetic diversity and polymorphism within each local population. This provides a sufficient basis for selection of improved strain of T. crocea and T. maxima for mariculture. However, if the genetic variation led to genetic differentiation among populations due to the result of evolutionary adaptation, mixing genetically different populations may result in the break up of co-adaptation gene complexes. This might result in the loss of the physiological capacities of the parental populations. Key words: genetic variability, cytochrome c oxidase I gene, Tridacna crocea, Tridacna maxima Introduction The family of tridacnidae, also known as giant clam, is conspicuous bivalve that inhabits coral reef across the Indo-Pacific region (Lucas, 1988).
