Abstract

Megabenthos is a group of fauna that inhabits the benthic zone, which is the bottom or substrate of aquatic environments (both infauna and epifauna), with a body size exceeding 10 mm (1 cm). This study aims to analyze the abundance of megabenthos in the coral reef ecosystem, examine the relationship between megabenthos abundance and the physical and chemical parameters of the aquatic environment in the coral reef ecosystem, and analyze the relationship between megabenthos abundance and coral life forms in the waters of Gelasa Island. This research was conducted in September 2022 in the waters of Gelasa Island. Megabenthos data were collected using the Bentos Belt Transect (BBT) method, while coral data were collected using the Underwater Photo Transect (UPT) method. The study identified 10 species of megabenthos in the coral reef ecosystem of Gelasa Island. The species found at the research site include Diadema setosum, Diadema antillarium, Echinothrix calamaris, Drupella cornus, Drupella rugosa, Trochus conus, Tectus pyramis, Tridacna squamosa, Tridacna crocea, and Acanthaster planci. The percentage of live coral cover at the research site ranged from 26.60% to 71.00%. Megabenthos abundance was analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to examine the relationship between megabenthos and the physical and chemical parameters of the aquatic environment and the relationship between megabenthos and coral life forms.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the community structure of reef fish in the small island waters of Central Bangka. The research was conducted in March 2022 in the waters of Bebuar Island, Ketugar Island, Ketawai Island, and Gusung Asam Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The coral reef survey method uses purposive sampling and the coral reef fish visual census with data analysis of abundance, diversity index, uniformity, and dominance. In-site water quality measurements included six parameters: temperature, salinity, current, brightness, depth, and pH. The results showed that coral reef cover from 44.60 - 87.00% with the medium to very good category. The abundance of reef fish from 1 to 3 individuals/m2 was dominated by 18 species of the Pomacentridae family. The reef fish diversity index ranged from 2.47 to 2.90, including the medium category. The uniformity index value ranged from 0.79 - 0.94, including the high category, indicating that the species found were evenly distributed across all stations. The dominance index value ranges from 0.07 to 0.15, including low, where no species dominates significantly and the fish are evenly distributed. Temperature, brightness, pH, and salinity are factors that support the growth of coral and reef fish. A water current speed of 0.05 – 0.20 m/s is quite helpful in cleaning coral reefs from mud and can supply oxygen. Water conditions were categorized as good and fulfilled the seawater quality standards.
