摘要

Abstract

Substrate is an important abiotic factor for burrowing shellfish

as it not only provides them with shelter

but also impose significant effect on their physiological metabolism. However

the physiological responses of burrowing clams within various substrates get less attention due to difficulty in carrying out physiological tests in burie

d conditions. Consequently

this study investigated the burrowing behavior

feeding physiology and energy budget of

Paphia undulata

which is an important aquaculture bivalve species in south China. The clams were exposed to mud and sand substrates with variable physical properties in the laboratory

to determine the suitable substrate conditions for this species. The results showed that the percentage of burrowing clams

digging index

burrowing time

burrowing depth and scope for growth (SFG) were higher in mud substrates with

40% water content. Likewise

burrowing percentage

digging index

and burrowing depths were higher in substrates with

https://html.publish.founderss.cn/rc-pub/api/common/picture?pictureId=67358684&type=

1.60866666

40% sand content. Moreover

the burrowing depth had significant effect on the feeding physiology and SFG of

undulata

as clams burrowed at 6.3±1.8 cm had higher clearance rates and SFG as compared to other buried depths. This study further revealed that low water content in the sediment inhibited physiological performances of

undulata

by impairing feeding or absorption

hence reducing the SFG. In conclusion

mud substrate with

https://html.publish.founderss.cn/rc-pub/api/common/picture?pictureId=67358687&type=

https://html.publish.founderss.cn/rc-pub/api/common/picture?pictureId=67358679&type=

1.60866666

40% sand content is suitable for proper burrowing and growth of

undulata

. Our findings therefore provide fundamental knowledge that will be applicable in the improvement of bottom aquaculture and conservation of

undulata
