Sukamade River is one of the main rivers in Meru Betiri National Park, especially at Sarongan Resort. Macrofauna benthic community in this river are in the protected areas that allegedly still original, and has not got the impact of human activity. Information about the diversity of gastropods class in Sukamade River in limited encourage to do research on the diversity of gastropods in this place. This research was conducted to determine the diversity of gastropods in Sukamade River. Gastropods samples taken at fi ve stations those are in estuary, middle, and part of the river that closer to upstream river using surber-net and hand net. Surber-net used to take samples in watersheds zones and riparian zones using hand net. Samples were obtained, inserted the container that contains the fi xative solution that formed by formalin 6% for preservation. Samples that have been preserved, and then sorted, identifi ed and counted the number of individuals of each species, and data analysis. Data analysis, among others, to calculate the diversity index, evenness index, and dominance index in the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
