Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Individuals of Sinonovacula constricta (Lamarck, 1818) and of these potential predator species (e.g., crab and polychaeta) were captured in Ariake sea, Kyushu, Japan. The results of stomach and gut contents (under microscope), and stable isotope (SI) of C, N and nitrogen SI of amino acids (Phe and Gul) of these individuals suggested that (1) S. constricta mainly preferred the diatom within bottom mud as its diet, but detritus and carrion within mud were also assimilated slightly, and (2) juvenile (< 2cm) of S. constricta were ingested by mainly crab species. In order to assess suitable habitat for S. constricta in Ariake sea, the results of (1) and (2) and physiochemical environments of bottom and its surface water were comprehensively evaluated. The results of this spatial elucidate suggested that areas of the actual habitat of S. constricta in Ariake sea were quite narrow compared with areas of the potential suitable habitat for this species.
