Length Plastron Correlation towards Ridley Turtles Long Flipper that Given Lemuru and Seaweed Feeds

Abstract

A turtle security that was released their habitat in conserving, it was determined by their speed and agility to swimming and diving at avoiding predators even chasing prey to be eaten. The most an important part of turtle organs for agile swimming and diving was a flipper. Flippers forward more function as paddles when swimming and diving while the rear flippers serves as a rudder to steer the direction of movement of swimming and diving. The front flippers are unlike paddle when swimming and diving, whereas, the back flippers as a rudder at direction when swimming and diving. At front flippers, there was belong a strong nails for ripping or tearing their prey, therefore, it was easy eaten. The study was intended to know a feeding effect of lemuru and seaweed on different percentage towards length plastron correlation to in front length flippers both. An experiment material that was used in the research was 75 ridley turtles, having by the ranch turtle, PT. Moncot Sari, located in Desa Tanjung Benoa, South Kuta subdistrict, Badung regency. The experiments were designed using RAL, the analysis of correlation, regression, and data processing applied Costat Statistics. The research results were obtained the highest long plastron average rows on treatment E: 36.4 cm, D: 28.7 cm, A: 28,6 cm, B: 27.6 cm and C: 26.6 (P <0.01), a length plastron correlation and regression towards long front flippers were significant both front and back. A length plastron correlation (X) with front flippers r = 0.7768, b = 03 223 and a = 18.2499 very significant (p <0:01), whereas, the correlation between long front flippers (X) and long back flippers r = 0.6346 , b = 0.9814, a = 14.6368 highly significant (P <0.01).
