Abstract

The mangrove ecosystem is inhabited by various macroinvertebrates, such as brachyuran crabs, hermit crabs, gastropods, and bivalves. The mangrove ecosystem is a primary habitat for crabs to grow and develop, and it serves as a nursery ground for young organisms before they reach adulthood. This research was conducted from September 2023 to June 2024 in Gili Sulat, East Lombok. The aim of this study is to determine the diversity of crabs in Gili Sulat and their association with mangrove species. The method used in this research is purposive sampling, taking into account the density of mangroves.The study found 12 mangrove species: Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora stylosa, Rhizophora apiculata, Ceriops tagal, Excoecaria agallocha, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Pemphis acidula, Avicennia marina, Lumnitzera racemosa, Xylocarpus rumphii, Cordia subcordata, and Osbornia octodonta. The mangrove density at station 1 was 1800 ind/ha, at station 2 was 1222 ind/ha, and at station 3 was 2411 ind/ha. The crabs found included 3 species: Baptozius vinosus, Notonyx sp, and Portunus pelagicus. The abundance of crabs at station 1 was 55.6 ind/ha, at station 2 was 33.3 ind/ha, and at station 3 was 66.7 ind/ha. The correlation between mangrove density and crab abundance had a coefficient of determination of 91.6%, indicating that mangrove density can significantly influence crab abundance. There is one species of crab that has a positive association with one species of mangrove, namely the crab species Baptozius vinosus and the mangrove species Rhizophora mucronata.

Abstract

Scad fish (Decapterus macarellus) is a fish of important economic value, this fish is the main target of fishermen in Tanjung Luar East Lombok but information about its existence biologically has never been research.This study intended to analyze the reproductive aspects of the scad fish landed at PPI Tanjung Luar, East Lombok, based on sex ratio, length-weight relationship, gonad maturity level, gonad weight, and Gonadosomatic Index (GSI). The sampling technique was quota  implemented to get 270 scad fish from March to May 2024. Simple regression linear was applied to analyze the relationship between length and weight of scad fish. This research showed that: 1) the sex ratio of scad fish in the study site was varied, that is  0.58:1; 0.88:1; and 0.58:1 for in March, April, and May respectively, 2) the growth pattern of scad fish in the study site is negative allometric, 3) the gonad's maturity stages dominated by stage of I and II, This shows that the kite fish is still in an immature condition. and 4) the gonadal somatic index indicates that the fish can spawn more than once a year.

Abstract

The presence and sustainability of mangrove plants can be inferred from the species' composition and organization within a forest region. The goal of this study is to ascertain the environmental conditions of the mangrove ecosystem in the Teluk Jor region of East Lombok Regency, as well as the diversity index of mangrove species and the structure and composition of the mangrove vegetation. Purposive sampling is used in this descriptive exploratory study design, and data is gathered utilizing transects and quadrants. The results of the research found 7 types of mangroves with 4 families namely the rhizophoraceae family (Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata and Ceriops tagal), the sonneratiaceae family (Sonneratia alba and Sonneratia caseolaris), the avicenniaceae family (Avicennia marina) and the combretaceae family (Lumnitzera racemosa). Sonneratia alba has a relative frequency (FR) value of 63.16%, relative density (KR) of 80.33%, and the highest relative dominance of 78.84% followed by Rhizophora apiculata, Sonneratia caseolaris and Avicennia marina. Seven mangrove species and four families with the greatest important value index belong to Sonneratia alba, according to the research's findings. The sapling category's diversity index was categorized as medium, while the tree category's diversity index was categorized as low.
