- Title
- Taxonomic and functional responses of macrofaunal assemblage provide insight into ecological impacts of bottom-based Manila clam aquaculture
- Abstract
- Understanding ecological impacts of bottom-based clam aquaculture can improve its management. In this study, taxonomic and functional macrofaunal assemblage were evaluated for two clam farms located in Laizhou Bay, China. Beta diversity and factors potentially regulating the dissimilarity of macrofauna were estimated. Both taxonomic and functional composition of macrofauna showed large differences between the clam farm and the control area. Functional dissimilarity within the clam farms was found to be nestedness and negatively correlated to local clam abundance. Additionally, the cultured clam enhanced the functional richness but made the macrofaunal assemblage more fragile against species or function loss. This effect would increase with clam abundance, which highlights the importance of identifying optimal clam culture intensity in developing a bottom-based clam aquaculture program.
