“…Juveniles 150 d of age that were obtained from our previous study (Kovitvadhi and Kovitvadhi ) were cultivated in 40 × 25 × 30 cm 3 plastic baskets at densities of 25, 50, and 100 mussels/basket, with three replicates per density level in both areas (Mae Klong Reservoir and Khwae Yai River). The baskets were then hung 2 m below the water surface on rafts.…”

“…Map of the study area that shows the two culture locations in Kanchanaburi Province: the Mae Klong Reservoir, Amphoe Tha Muang, and the Khwae Yai River, Amphoe Si Sawat. media [M199 (Gibco, No.6231100-035) supplemented with common carp plasma and antibiotics/antimycotic], and gonadal development has been induced to achieve sexual maturity at 360 d of age (Kovitvadhi et al 2006). Kovitvadhi and Kovitvadhi (2013) cultured C. hainesiana using the artificial media formula of Kovitvadhi et al (2006) and obtained a transformation value of 97.2 ± 2.5%, with a transformation duration of 8 d. The early juveniles (0-90 d old) were subsequently reared in recirculating systems, and the 90-150-d-old juveniles were reared outdoors, with average survival rates of 71.3 ± 0.4% and 98.7 ± 0.6%, respectively. However, information regarding the biology and culture of juvenile C. hainesiana remains limited.…”

The effects of location and density on the growth and survival of juvenile freshwater pearl mussel, Chamberlainia hainesiana, 150–360 d after metamorphosis were investigated to determine the optimal ranges for commercial farming in Thailand. Juveniles were reared outdoors in two locations (the Mae Klong Reservoir and the Khwae Yai River, Kanchanaburi Province). Three density levels (25, 50, and 100 mussels/basket) were established at each location, with three replicates per density level. Phytoplankton from the water column in the natural habitats served as feed; no supplemental feed was provided. The mussels cultured in the reservoir had significantly higher growth rates than those cultured in the river (P < 0.01). The density level of 25 mussels/basket exhibited the highest average growth rates (in weight, length, height, and width per day). The density levels of 25 and 50 mussels/basket did not show significant differences in growth from each other (P > 0.05), but both showed significant differences in growth from the density level of 100 mussels/basket (P < 0.01).
