Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of salinity on growth and survival of the polychaete rockworm Marphysa sanguinea (Montagu 1813) at the juveniles and adults stages under controlled laboratory conditions. The effects of different salinities 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 psu on the survival and growth rates of M. sanguinea juveniles and adults was examined in two separate experiments in a semi-recirculating system. This study was examined over a three-month period in the Fisheries Science and Technology Center of Pukyong National University, South Korea. Experiments were conducted in plastic boxes of sizes L 40 cm × W 24 cm × H 28 cm has filled with sediment mixed with oyster shells 70% (5 mm) and sand 30% (2 mm). To identify the growth and survival rate monthly and end of the 3rd month, data was collected for juveniles and adult.. View More»
