Studi Morfometrik Kepiting Rajungan (Portunus Pelagicus)

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the morphometric characteristics crab P. pelagicus in the Sei Berombang estuary waters. The purposive sampling method used to determining 3 sampling stations, sampling process was using trawl nets. The results showed that the P. pelagicus population at Station 1 dominated by small carapace, at stations 2 and 3 found the domination of larger size with juvenile and adult phases category. The morphometric characters of carapace width (CW) in blue/flower crabs ranged from 9.50 to 17.40 cm, left posterolateral carapace length (LPCL) ranged from 2.20-6.70 cm, left anterolateral carapace length (LACL) ranged from 1.30-6.50 cm, right anterolateral carapace length (RACL) ranged from 1.20-7.00 cm, frontal right width (FRMW) ranged from 1.50-3.70 cm, carapace length (CH) ranged from 3.70-7.00 cm, internal carapace width (ICW) ranged from 6, 30-14.10 cm, right orbit (eye socket) width (ROW) ranged from 1.06-2.00 cm, left orbit (eye cavity) width (LOW) ranged from 1.12-2.10 cm, carapace width (CW) ranged from 9.50-17.40 cm, left posterolateral carapace length (LPCL) ranged from 2.20-6.70 cm, and left anterolateral carapace length (LACL) ranged from 1.30-6.50 cm. Conclusion, The morphometric characters of male and female P. pelagicus in the Sei Berombang waters were found to vary spatially and temporally.

MORFOMETRIK DAN SURVIVAL RATE PENGGEMUKAN KEPITING BAKAU (Scylla serrata) SISTEM APARTEMEN KEPITING DI DESA PAGARAWAN DAN PANTAI TAKARI, PULAU BANGKA

“…Apart from that, the growth of crabs cultivated in the apartment system in Takari can be influenced by the level of community concern in maintaining them. Measuring the weight, width and length of crabs are important parameters for collecting data (Kalsum and Dimenta, 2023). The ratio between weight, width and length for the location in Pagarawan is 1.6:1.4:1.…”
