Abstract

Research on transplantation of Acropora microphthalma was conducted at Barrang Lompo Island reef edge of South Sulawesi from September to December 2002. The aim of this research was to know the successful rate of several coral transplantation methods for rehabilitation of coral reefs, covering the survival and growth rates. The methods used were framework earthenware (FE), iron stake (IS), dead coral tying (DCT), where the mother colony (MC) was used as control. These transplantation techniques were applied at five meter depth in two stations, north and south sites of the island. The survival rate for each method FE, IS, DCT and MC at the northern station was 85.71; 42.86; 85.71; 57.14%, while for southern station was 85.71; 85.71; 71.43 and 85.71%, respectively. The growth rates observed for each method at the first station were 2.18; 2.02; 1.40; 1.05 cm, and for the second station were 2.56; 2.21; 1.61; 1.04 cm, respectively.

Abstract

The occurrence and distribution of family trochidae at Badi Island, Spermonde Archipelago off SW-Sulawesi has been studied. The line transect with combination of quadrant method was used during sampling. A transect covering 400 m of sampling area was applied at 1, 3,5, and 7 m depth, respectively. Parameters such as shell length and size-class distribution were observed. Ecological parameters were also recorded during investigation. We found the presence of 11 species of trochidae at the study area. It was evident that some trochidae were common and while top shell Trochus niloticus seems to be rare. Vertical distribution among this group was uneven. The number of species decreases with increasing depth. Furthermore, high density of smaller trocha occurred at shallow water followed by a decline with changes in depth. Â
