Resumo: | Commercial production of most bivalve species involves a phase of intermediate cultivation during which juveniles are grown under protected conditions until they can be transferred to the final grow-out location. Consequently, the aim of this study was investigating the effect of density on growth and survival in the intermediate culture of the razor clam Ensis arcuatus in raft. Two series of experiments were performed, using in the first experiment two holding systems: 5-L plastic bottles and PVC cylinders, both perforated, covered with a 1 mm mesh net to prevent razor clam escape and a 10-cm layer of coarse grained sand (300–1200 lm grain diameter). In this trial, two stocking densities were tested: 0.15 and 0.30 kg m-2. In the second one-two densities were essayed (0.62 and 1.24 kg m-2) in the PCV cylinders. In the first experiment after 27 of trial higher growth in cylinders at low density was observed. At the end of this trial all juveniles died in the 5-L plastic bottles and higher growth and survival were recorded in the cylinders at low density. In the second experiment, significant differences in growth and survival were found on day 70, with the best results at low density. Five-L plastic bottles must be rejected as holding system for the intermediate culture of E. arcuatus and the PVC cylinders at low densities could be a good alternative. At the end of the experiment razor clams reached the adequate size for their transfer into the grow-out system.
