Abstract
Light intensity affects the physiological functions and structures of bivalve larvae. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of light intensity on distribution, growth and survival rate of pearl oyster Pinctada maxima larvae. Completely randomized design was applied with four levels of light intensity tested i.e. 0 (fully covered), 200, 500, and 800 with three replications. The result of study showed that larvae distribution was significantly affected by light intensity, whereas the optimum light intensity for survival rate and growth of larvae was 0200 lux.
