ความหลากชนิด หอยน้ำจืด แอ่งเกษตรแม่ลาว ปัจจัยทางกายภาพ-เคมี
Main Article Content
บทคัดย่อ
แอ่งเกษตรแม่ลาวตั้งอยู่ในพื้นที่ลุ่มน้ำย่อยแม่ลาวของลุ่มน้ำกก จังหวัดเชียงราย โดยพื้นที่นี้ยังไม่มีรายงานความหลากชนิดของหอยน้ำจืดมาก่อน ดังนั้นวัตถุประสงค์ของการศึกษาครั้งนี้ เพื่อประเมินความหลากชนิดและศึกษาปัจจัยทางกายภาพ-เคมีบางประการของแหล่งน้ำที่สัมพันธ์กับความชุกชุมของหอยน้ำจืด โดยดำเนินการเก็บตัวอย่างหอยน้ำจืดด้วยวิธี Quadrat sampling และศึกษาคุณสมบัติทางกายภาพ-เคมีบางประการของแหล่งน้ำในพื้นที่แอ่งเกษตรของอำเภอแม่ลาว จังหวัดเชียงราย และศึกษาความหลากชนิดโดยใช้ดัชนีความมากชนิด (Species richness) ดัชนีความหลากหลาย (Shannon’s diversity index) และดัชนีความสม่ำเสมอ (Evenness index) และวิเคราะห์ความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างความชุกชุมของหอยน้ำจืดกับปัจจัยทางกายภาพ-เคมีของแหล่งน้ำในแต่ละถิ่นอาศัยของหอยร่วมด้วย ผลการศึกษาพบหอยทั้งหมด 3,725 ตัว จัดจำแนกได้ 12 ชนิด คือ Bithynia funiculata, B. siamensis goniomphalos, B. s. siamensis, Clea helena, Trochotaia trochoides, Filopaludina doliaris, F. martensi martensi, F. sumatrensis polygramma, Lymnaea auricularia, Melanoides tuberculata, Pomacea canaliculata และ Corbicula sp. ซึ่งจากหอยทั้ง 12 ชนิดนี้ พบหอย 9 ชนิดที่มีความสำคัญทางการแพทย์และสัตวแพทย์ โดยหอยที่พบจำนวนมากจากการศึกษาครั้งนี้ คือ ชนิด B. s. siamensis และ M. tuberculata ผลจากการวิเคราะห์ข้อมูลคุณสมบัติทางกายภาพ-เคมีของแหล่งน้ำระหว่างถิ่นอาศัย (ลำธารและนาข้าว) ของหอยน้ำจืดพบว่าไม่แตกต่างกันอย่างมีนัยสำคัญ อย่างไรก็ตาม ปัจจัยทางกายภาพ-เคมีบางประการของแหล่งน้ำที่สัมพันธ์กับความชุกชุมของหอยน้ำจืดอย่างมีนัยสำคัญนั้น ได้แก่ ค่าออกซิเจนละลายน้ำและค่าความเป็นกรด-ด่าง (p<0.05) โดยพบในถิ่นที่อยู่ที่เป็นลำธาร นอกจากนี้พบว่าความหลากชนิดและความชุกชุมของหอยน้ำจืดในถิ่นอาศัยที่เป็นลำธารนั้น มีความหลากชนิดและความชุกชุมสูงกว่านาข้าว ซึ่งการศึกษาครั้งนี้เป็นรายงานความหลากชนิดของหอยน้ำจืดครั้งแรกจากแอ่งเกษตรแม่ลาวในพื้นที่ลุ่มน้ำย่อยแม่ลาว
