摘要
本研究采集自拉各斯大学拉各斯潟湖红树林地区的armatum心虫和guanhumi心虫。研究了它们的粒径组成及其对生长格局的影响。对两种螃蟹进行了比较分析。所测阿玛心虫和冠浒心虫的甲壳长度分别为2.50 ~ 9.30 cm和2.50 ~ 9.20 cm。甲壳宽度分别为2.70厘米至9.40厘米和2.80厘米至9.40厘米。总重在96.00 g ~ 290.00 g之间,冠浒心虫总重在4.70 g ~ 295.00 g之间。两种蟹的长重关系呈低相关值,分别为0.3378和0.2113。对左、右足、甲长、甲宽进行统计t检验,结果表明,两种蟹的甲长差异无统计学意义(p>0.05)。2月、3月、6月和7月采集的甲壳重差异均有统计学意义(p<0.05)。两种蟹的左右蹄足差异有显著性(p<0.05)。本研究表明,这两个物种的生物学特征几乎相似,并明显表明这两个螃蟹都是红树林栖息地的重要亮点。
Size and Growth of Cardiosoma armatum and Cardiosoma guanhumi as Ecological Parameters for Mangrove Ecosystem
The Samples of Cardiosoma armatum and Cardiosoma guanhumi were collected from the Lagos Lagoon mangrove area of the University of Lagos. They were studied for their size composition and influence on growth pattern. A comparative analysis was done on both crabs. The carapace length of Cardiosoma armatum and Cardiosoma guanhumi examined ranges from 2.50 cm to 9.30 cm and 2.50 cm to 9.20 cm respectively. The carapace-width examined ranges from 2.70 cm to 9.40 cm and 2.80 cm to 9.40 cm respectively. The total weight of the Cardiosoma armatum ranges between 96.00 g and 290.00 g while Cardiosoma guanhumi ranges between 4.70 g and 295.00 g. The length- weight relationship of the two crabs showed low correlation value of 0.3378 and 0.2113 respectively. The Statistical T-test of the right and left chelipeds, the carapace length and carapace width of Cardiosoma armatum and Cardiosoma guanhumi showed that there were no statistical significances (p>0.05) between carapace length of both crabs. There are statistical significance (p<0.05) between carapace weight of both crabs collected in February, March, June and July. The statistical significance (p<0.05) between the right and left chelipeds of both crabs are highly recognized. This research study indicates almost similar biological features for both species and evidently shows that both crabs are important spotlight for mangrove habitat.
