Abstract

Zooplankton play an important dual role in marine ecosystems as food webs connectors and sensitive indicators of water quality. This study examines the composition, abundance, and relationship of zooplankton communities with oceanographic parameters in the coral reef ecosystem of Manokwari Waters. Samples were collected from three observation stations: Kaki Island, Lemon Island, and Marampa Port, using a 25 μm plankton net. Morphological identification resulted in six classes of zooplankton, namely Hexanauplia, Gastropoda, Bivalve, Malacostraca, Branchiopoda, and Ostracoda, for a total of 23 species. The class Hexanauplia dominates in all locations, with the most abundant species being Undinula vulgaris (10 individuals), Calanus sinicus (7), and Eurytemora pacifica (6). Cluster analysis based on the Bray-Curtis similarity index with the Average Linkage method shows the similarity of zooplankton communities between Marampa Port and Lemon Island. Kaki Island forms a separate cluster, indicating differences in species composition spatially. The highest abundance was recorded in the Hexanauplia class with an abundance index of >2,500 cells/L in some species. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) revealed a positive correlation between DO and Bivalvia (+0.99), temperature with Gastropoda (+0.92), and salinity with Hexanauplia (+0.28). Environmental factors such as temperature, DO, pH, and depth have been shown to influence the spatial distribution and diversity of communities. These findings reinforce the dual role of zooplankton as a fundamental food source for benthic organisms such as the soft coral Sarcophyton sp. and as an effective bioindicator for monitoring the health of tropical coastal ecosystems.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study examines the microhabitat characteristics of the endemic rainbowfish Melanotaenia arfakensis in two major rivers of Tambrauw, Southwest Papua—Api River and Asiti River—focusing on the spatial dynamics of environmental parameters from upstream to downstream. Results indicate that water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), depth, current velocity, and river width show significant spatial trends and directly influence the survival of M. arfakensis. The upstream zones, characterized by lower temperatures (23–26°C), high DO levels (>7 mg/L), moderate current, and stable depth, are identified as optimal habitats and conservation priorities. In contrast, the midstream and downstream zones exhibit gradual habitat degradation, including temperature increases up to 29.1°C and decreased DO levels, approaching the physiological tolerance limits of the species. This decline in microhabitat quality correlates with riparian vegetation loss and anthropogenic pressures. Therefore, an effective in situ conservation strategy must be spatially explicit, adaptive, and participatory—emphasizing thermal refugia protection in the upstream zones, ecological restoration in the midstream, and integrated watershed management with community involvement in the downstream areas. Longitudinal connectivity and the integrity of the entire riverine ecosystem are essential for ensuring the long-term viability of this endemic species.
