Abstract

Reef fishes are important components of a healthy coral ecosystem. However, when coral reefs are degraded, reef fishes also lose their habitat resulting in a decline in reef fish production and sustainable livelihood for the communities depending on it. In this study, we determined the status of reef fish communities in an artificial reef at PT Artha Cipta Langgeng in the Penyusuk waters of Bangka Regency, Indonesia. Data on reef fish communities were collected using the underwater visual census (UVC) method, including in situ and ex-situ environmental parameters. A total of 2,987 individuals belonging to 12 reef fish species and five families were recorded across three stations. The abundance of reef fish ranges from 45 to 60 ind/m², categorized as highly abundant. Diversity, evenness, and dominance indices were calculated at  1.18-1.49, 0.56-0.65, and 0.26 -0.36, respectively which are categorized as low to moderate. The environmental parameters in the artificial reef are still within the standard limit for a reef ecosystem. The study emphasizes the importance of artificial reefs as an alternative to a degraded coral reef ecosystem in supporting the thriving existence of reef fishes in the Penyusuk waters.

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.
