Insekta has biodiversity with a wide distribution throughout the world. Sampling was carried out once a week during October 2019. A total of 717 specimens of Order Diptera were found which covered two families in the Cigambreng River. Each family obtained includes one type, Antocha sp. (Family Tipulidae.) and Krenopelopia sp. (Chironomidae). The presence of a chironomid has indicates an excessive input load (pollutant) into the waters of the Cigambreng River. In general, the highest abundance was obtained at the fourth observation, 284 ind/m2, while the lowest abundance was obtained at the second observation, which was 60 ind/m2. Secondary productivity covers P/B ratio of 3.034 /month with a production speed of 14.2458 (g/m2/month) and biomass (4.6954 g/m2).
Ekas Bay is the largest bay on the island of Lombok which is the location for catching and cultivating spiny lobsters. This research was conducted from May to July 2021 on the Scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus). This study aims to identify the types of natural foods consumed and determine the preferred types of food, as well as the early juvenile feeding time of Scalloped spiny lobster located in Ekas Bay, East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB). Puerulus samples were collected in the last week of May 2021, enlarged puerulus was performed in submerged cages measuring 15 cm × 15 cm × 15 cm, mesh size <3 mm, with a density of 4 puerulus/m2. The cages are placed at a location 70 m to the sea from the shoreline, at a depth of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 m. After reaching the juvenile phase, lobsters are collected during the new and full moon phases (06.00 am, 06.00 pm and 12.00 am, respectively) in June to July 2021. A total of 60 individual juvenile lobsters (algal phase) were analyzed for their stomach contents. The average percentage of the total Index of Relative Important (IRI) obtained for the identified taxa were bivalves (22.32%), copepods (23.64%), demosponges (24.98%), while digestibdle material was 29.06%. The electivity index data (Ei) shows that lobsters prefer bivalves over other taxa. Lobster samples taken in the morning had a stomach fullness rate of 50%, indicating active feeding at night.
Secondary productivity is the formation of biomass of heterotrophic organisms in units of time including biomass that is lost in a certain time unit. The Crambidae family is an insect that has aquatic larvae and will become an air insect after the larval phase. This species has the potential to become a pest for agriculture. The study was conducted in October 2019 for one month. The Crambidae family species found consists of two species, Petrophila sp. and Elophila sp. The abundance of Crambidae during the study ranged from 100 ind/m2 to 422 ind/m2. Secondary productivity was analyzed by the size frequency method. The secondary productivity of the Crambidae family in Cigambreng river waters for one month was 47.7915 g/m2/month, the biomass formed was 14.9669 g/m2 and the P/B ratio was 3.1931.
Phytoplankton is one of the important components in aquatic ecosystems. This organism plays an important role as a primary producer to support the life of the tropics above it. The purposesàof this study were to reveal the abundance and diversity of phytoplankton species in the waters of Sekotong Bay, West Lombok. Sampling were conducted in July 2018 at 8 stations using plankton net and then observed at the Laboratory. The results of the abundance calculations show a varied pattern at each observation station. The highest abundance was found at station 8 (9,060 ind/L) followed by station 6 (8,300 ind/L), station 7 (6,490 ind/L), station 4 (4,440 ind/L), station 3 (3,980 ind/L) , station 5 (2,820 ind/L), station 2 (2,460 ind/L) and station 1 (2,440 ind/L). The Shannon - Wiener Species diversity Index also shows diverse patterns at each station. Station 7 has the highest diversity index value (Hââ¬Â² = 3.55), followed by station 6 (Hââ¬Â² = 3.46), station 8 (Hââ¬Â² = 3.18), station 1 (Hââ¬Â² = 2.72) , station 2 (Hââ¬Â² = 2.69), station 5 (Hââ¬Â² = 2.67), station 4 (Hââ¬Â² = 2.33) and station 3 (Hââ¬Â² = 2.26). Species dominance index at all stations at low category with the highest dominance found at station 3 (D = 0.19), followed by station 4 (D = 0.18), station 2 (D = 0.09), station 5 (D = 0, 09), station 1 (D = 0.08), station 8 (D = 0.06), station 6 (D = 0.05) and station 7 (D = 0.04). Species Evennes index (E) values ranged from 0.71 to 0.88, indicating that the number of individual species wasàrelatively the same and the ecosystem was in relatively good condition. The analysis showedàthat the spatial pattern of abundance and diversity of phytoplankton species in Sekotong Bay was related to the distance from the estuary.
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.
