This study was performed to estimate biomass and to provide management plan through population ecological characteristics, including growth parameters, survival rate, instantaneous coefficient of natural and fishing mortalities, and age at first capture of hen clam, Mactra chinensis, in the Dong-li self-regulatory community of Busan. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters estimated from a non-linear regression were =86.24mm, K=0.12/year, and =-1.37year. Survival rate(s) of the hen clam was 0.515. The instantaneous coefficients of natural mortality(M) was estimated to be 0.232/year and fishing mortality(F) 0.432/year for hen clam. The current biomass of the hen clam in the study area was estimated to be 713mt and the acceptable biological catch(ABC) was estimated under various harvest strategies based on F0.1 and F40%. |
