Perbandingan karakter morfometrik kerang lumpur Anodontia edentula, Linnaeus 1758 di pulau Tobea dan pesisir Lambiku, Kecamatan Napabalano, Kabupaten Muna

Abstract

The objective of the research was to aim the morphometric characters of mudclams, Anodontia edentula Linnaeus, 1758 in Tobea Island and in the coast of Lambiku, Napabalano District of Muna Regency. The research carried out in Tobea Island and in the coast of Lambiku was to analyse morphometrics character of mudclams. Data were analysed to perceive the comparison of morphometrics characters of mudclams in Tobea Island and in the coast of Lambiku by using t-test (student) and descriptive analysis. The results of t-test (student) analysis showed morphometric characters of mudclams in Tobea Island and in the coast of Lambiku significantly different as indicated by the t-value is greater than t-tables at the confidence level (=0.05). The morphometric characters of mudclams between the male sex in Tobea island and male in the coast of Lambiku different significantly as indicated by the t-value is greater than t-tables at the convidence level (=0.05). The morphometric characters of mudclams at the confidence level at the male sex in Tobea Island and female in the coast of Lambiku significantly different as indicated by the t-value is greater than t-table. For morphometric characters mudclams in Tobea Island of female and male sex significantly different in the coast of Lambiku as indicated by the t-value is greater than t-table. Morphometric characters in female of mudclams in Tobea Island and female gender were significantly different in the coast of Lambiku. Morphometric characters of mudclams in Tobea Island tend to be smaller than in the coast of Lambiku which the mudclams there tends to be larger.
