Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Lamp Shell (Lingula anatina, Lamark, 1801) in the Mudflat Area of Laem Phak Bia: The King's Royally Initiated LaemPhakBia Environmental Research and Development Project, Phetchaburi Province
Abstract
The study on spatial and temporal distribution of of Lamp shell (Lingula anatina, Lamark, 1801) in the Mudflat Area of Laem Phak Bia The King's Royally Initiated Laem Phak Bia Environmental Research and
Development Project, Phetchaburi Province was investigated during May 2012 to April 2013. Field collection of the Lamp shell were carried out by line transect sampling method; using 10 lines of a 100 meters transect (L1-L10). The result showed that the Lamp shell occur in silt loam sediment in the depth of 15 to 30 centimeters which composed of 19% sandy 68% silt and 13% clay. Lamp shell, prefers clam wind and wave, semidiurnal tide with more than 12 hours beach exposed during lowest tide and, 5 - 20 degree slope. A total of 5.44 individuals /sq.m. of Lamp shell were obtained in this study. Our survey demonstrates that the highest number of the Lamp shell was 16.20 individuals/sq.m. in July 2012 and 25.50 individuals/sq.m. in the rainy season. At the distance of 600 meters off coast, the highest number of Lamp shell was 13.50 individuals /sq.m. Among ten transects, Lamp shell exhibited the highest abundance of 8.10 individuals/sq.m. in Line 10 (L10). The correlation showed positively related to the water quality BOD (p<0.01). the correlation showed negatively related to the water quality salinity (p<0.01) and turbidity (p<0.05)
Key words : spatial and temporal distribution, Lamp shell, Mudflat area, Laem phak bia
