The research about Echinoderms diversity in Cibuaya Beach Ujung Genteng, West Java has been conducted from February to July 2019. It aimed to know diversity index of Echinoderms. It used belt transect method with three stations in the intertidal zone. Sampling technique used purposive sampling. The observation data are included primary data (the number of phylum Echinoderm’s species in the transect) and environmental data (pH, salinity, temperature, depth, current strength, and substrate). The population in this study was all species of Echinoderms found in the intertidal zone. The sample in this study was the species of Echinoderms found in the area of the station. Based on the result, the study obtained 8 species of Echinoderms, consisted of 3 classesand classified into 5 orders, 5 families, and 6 genera. The diversity index is classified as low with the average value of 0.62. The evenness index is classified as low with the average value of 0.37. The dominance index is classified as moderate with the average value of 0.67. Keywords: diversity, echinoderms, cibuaya beach, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea.
Limited information about Mollusks in Menganti Beach, Central Java has been a strong basis for researching its diversity. This study aimed to determine the mollusks' diversity in Menganti Beach, Kebumen. The research was conducted from April to May 2020, using a survey method and purposive sampling technique. Sampling was undertaken at three stations with the belt transect method. The results revealed 37 species with 1767 individuals from the Class Bivalvia, Gastropods, and Polyplacophora. Based on the diversity index value H '= 3.3, station 1 with the rocky sand substrate is the best for mollusks' habitat. The H' value at station 1 shows the highest diversity that the base substrate is dominated by sand and rocks, which are very supportive of mollusks. It is supported by the evenness value (E), which indicates evenly distributed species, and dominance value (D), which does not indicate a species' dominance. The a-biotic parameters at the three stations obtained an average morning temperature of 29 oC and 30 oC in the afternoon, pH of 7, and a salinity of 30 ‰ so that these values support the Mollusk habitat at Menganti Beach, Kebumen.Keywords:MolluskDiversityIntertidal ZonesCoastal
Tanjung Rising Coastal, located in Dendang Village, Bangka Belitung Islands, has a large variety of substrates and organisms. One of the types of marine life studied is the Mollusk Phylum including the Bivalve and Gastropod classes. To find out the diversity of Bivalvia and Gastropoda, this study was carried out on Tanjung Rising Coastal, Bangka Belitung Islands. The study was conducted in December 2020-August 2021, using belt transect method with purposive sampling technique. Samples were collected at station 1 with a sandy substrate and station 2 with a muddy substrate. The results of this study found 1,372 individuals from the Bivalvia class consisting of 7 families and 12 species, while from the Gastropod class yielded 2,630 individuals consisting of 5 families and 7 species. The diversity and evenness index at both stations is relatively low which means that there are species that dominate, because both stations have good habitats for the dominating species. In addition, temperature, pH, salinity, depth, and strong currents showed good values for Bivalvia and Gastropoda habitat. In summary, Tanjung Rising Beach is still a good habitat for invertebrate animals, especially Bivalvia and Gastropoda.
Abstract. Pertiwi MP, Saputri DD. 2020. Golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) as an alternative protein source in Pasupati catfish (Pangasius sp.) fish feed. Nusantara Bioscience 12: 162-167. Research on efforts to conserve golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) meat has been done. This research aimed to utilize the snail meat as an alternative feed for the Pasupati catfish (Pangasius sp.). The research was carried out from May to August 2020. It began by collecting Pomacea canaliculata by hand sorting then processed into artificial feed/pellets. The research was CRD designed with 5 treatments and 3 replications. Pasupati catfish juvenil measuring 7.4 ± 0.8 cm and weighing 11.7 ± 0.5 g, was maintained for 21 days with a stocking density of 15 individuals/aquarium. Feeding as much as 8% of the biomass with a frequency of feeding 3 times a day at satiation. Variables measured were SGR, L, RP, FCR, and SR. The results showed that feed B produced the best fish growth and could be an alternative fish feed without having a negative effect on growth and feed utilization. Feed B (90% fish meal + 10% Pomacea canaliculata meat meal) had the highest SGR value and was supported by a high PR value and a low FCR value. In addition, there is a difference among variables, despite least significant. ANOVA test also supports the differences between treatments, but HSD test (p<0,05) is not significantly different. This means that the addition of the percentage of P. canaliculata meat meal to the feed does not provide a good performance of the Pasupati catfish. Value of abiotic parameters was to support fish farming.
Research on the diversity of echinoderms at Drini Beach, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta has been conducted from December 2020 to July 2021. This study aimed to determine the Echinoderm diversity index. The method sampling technique used belt transect with determination by purposive sampling with three stations in the intertidal zone based on substrate variations. Station 1 had coral substrate type, station 2 had seagrass substrate type, and sand substrate type for station 3. The sample in this study was the species of Echinoderms found in the station area. After sampling, it obtained 7 species of Echinoderms consisting of 3 classes, classified into 4 orders, and 6 families. The diversity index at all stations is low, followed by a low evenness value and a high dominance value. The species Ophiocoma erinaceus was dominant at stations one and two, while the species Tripneustes gratilla was dominant at stations three. Moreover, the most common habitat for echinoderms is This is due to the availability of abundant food, laying places for echinoderms, and shelter to avoid predators. In addition, it is also supported by temperature, pH, salinity, strong currents, and a good depth for Echinoderm habitat
