Abstract

Abstract

Ark-shell Anadara broughtonii is one of the most important commercial bivalve species in Northern China. Raft culture of ark-shell has been developing rapidly. Stable isotope (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N) analysis was conducted on Anadara broughtonii in raft culture and three potential food sources:surface particular organic matter (SPOM), bottom particular organic matter (BPOM) and attached microalgae (AM) in the raft culture area, Lingshan Bay of Qingdao, in four seasons, from May 2014 to January 2015. Meanwhile, the composition of food sources for the cultured ark-shell was investigated in relation to season by using stable isotopes and stomach content analysis. The results showed that, the δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values of ark-shell and their food sources varied significantly with season. The δ¹³C values of ark-shell (-19.6‰ to -19.2‰) were higher than those of SPOM (-23.3‰ to -21.8‰) and BPOM (-22.1‰ to -21.2‰), but lower than those of AM (-17.0‰ to -16.0‰). The δ¹⁵N values mainly ranged from 8.7‰ to 9.9‰. In addition, the ark-shell in winter had significantly depleted δ¹³C and enriched δ¹⁵N. The particulate organic matter (mainly phytoplankton) in water column was the principle food source for ark-shell, with a contribution of about 60.0%-77.8% (with the highest contribution in summer). Meanwhile, the contribution of BPOM resulting from resuspension in this area remained a high level (about 30.8%-47.1%), and the AM on culture cages took up about 22.1%-40.0% contribution in diets. These results indicate that A. broughtonii feeds on a mixture diet of particulate organic matter and attached microalgae, and the AM on cages can treat as important supplemental food sources in raft culture area.
