Abstract

Around the Kambang Estuary, there are fish shelters (TPI), fishing boat ports, residential areas, and mangrove ecosystems. This causes a decrease in water quality due to the increase in organic matter, which has an impact on the life of macrozoobenthos. The study conducted in February 2021 aims to analyze the organic matter content of sediments, identify the type and abundance of macrozoobenthos and the relationship between sedimentary organic matter and the abundance of macrozoobenthos. Determination of stations using purposive sampling method. This research was carried out at 4 stations with 4 sampling points. The results showed that the organic matter content found varied from 4.23 to 8.47%. The abundance of macrozoobenthos ranged from 13.89 to 38.89 ind/m2. The species of macrozoobenthos found at the study site consisted of 8 species from 3 classes of bivalves, gastropods and malacostraca. The relationship between the organic matter content in the sediment and the abundance of macrozoobenthos is obtained by the equation Y = 22.734 + 0.319X, where the coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.003 and the correlation coefficient (r) is 0.054, which is a very weak shows correlation.

Abstract

This research was conducted in January 2022. Seagrass density calculations and seagrass sampling were carried out in Dusun Jati, Tuapejat, Sipora Utara District, Mentawai Islands Regency, and seagrass sample analysis was carried out at the Marine Chemistry Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine, Universitas Riau. The objective of the study is to analyze the density of seagrass C. rotundata, analyze the biomass and carbon stock stored in Agb and Bgb parts, and whether there are differences in density, biomass, and carbon stock between stations in seagrass C. rotundata at the research site. The density value of seagrass C.rotundata varies for each station. The average density of seagrass C. rotundata at the study site was 33.48 stands/m2. The range of the biomass value in the Agb section is 21.78-39.9 gbk/m2 while the Bgb section is 31.01-61.4 gbk/m2. The average value of the carbon stock stored in the Agb section is around 2.08-5.34 gC/m2 and the Bgb section is 10.81-15.48 gC/m2. The conclusion from this research is that the density of seagrass at the research location is infrequently and each station has a different density. The highest biomass is found at a greater density as well as the carbon stock. Biomass between stations was not significantly different while the Agb and Bgb parts were significantly different. Density, biomass, and carbon stock have a very strong relationship.
