Abstract
This research was carried out to search for sea sand alternatives suitable for larval settlement of the short-neck clam (Ruditapes philippinarum), as well as growth of its young shells. Among the tested alternatives, melting slag derived from municipal waste incineration (MSI-slag) showed the higher number of settlers than the mountain and real sea sands (MS, SS), whereas the number of settlers on the granulated ashes derived from industrial waste combustion (IWC-A) was comparable to that on MS and SS. The addition of MSI-slag to SS accelerated the larval settlement, indicating that MSI-slag attracts the short-necked clam larvae. In the growth test of young shells, MSI-slag and IWC-A were excellent livability than MS.
