The study of physical factors affecting the density of wedge clams on Samran Beach,
Hat Samran District, Trang Province aimed to investigate the physical factors influencing the
density of wedge clams in the area of Samran Beach, Hat Samran District, Trang Province.
The study examined the density of wedge clams, water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen,
and salinity to understand the density of wedge clams in the Samran Beach area, Hat
Samran District, Trang Province. The results showed that the density of wedge clams on
Samran Beach, Hat Samran District, Trang Province was influenced by physical and chemical
factors. The water temperature ranged from 29.4-33.3 °C, which is conducive to the survival
of aquatic organisms. The pH ranged from 5.6-6.8, considered normal and suitable for
aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen (DO) ranged from 4.29-7 mg/l, and the salinity ranged from
28.4-30.64 ppt. The cloud cover showed that Steatocumulus clouds were more prevalent
than Cirrus clouds, indicating high humidity or changing weather conditions.
