Study of the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the nest oxygen content and its change of the green sea turtle on Wan-an Island, PengHu Archipelago / 生物與非生物因子對澎湖縣望安島綠蠵龜卵窩含氧量的影響暨氧氣變化之探討

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 海洋生物研究所 / 97 / Oxygen is one of the improtant factor that can provide metabolic activities during the sea turtle embryogenesis. However, there are many biotic and biotic factors that influence the oxygen dynamics during the embryogenesis. The propose of the thesis is to measure the oxygen change during the green sea turtle embryogenesis on Wangan Island, PengHu County. The study also examine the factors (ex: temperature. clutch size) that influence the oxygen content in the nest and change at different stage of embryogenesis. Results showed that the oxygen content in the nest decreased with the incubation. We also found that the oxygen content at the final stage of embryogenesis significantly lower than the middle and early stages. The oxygen content in the center of the nest significantly lower than the top and button positions, especially during the final stage. Number of metabolic embryos is the most important factor that effect the oxygen content during the embryogenesis. In the early stage, clutch size and sand temperature are the most important factors that influence the oxygen content. The number of metabolic embryos effect middle and final stages. Sand characters, however, did not influence the oxygen content in the nests.
