Zooplankton community structure in Cengkok Coastal Water and it’s around, Teluk Banten

Abstract

Cengkok coastal waters of Banten Bay are one of the waters that have many anthropogenic, industrial, and aquaculture activities. Zooplankton would like to become a bioindicator for the water’s condition. This study aimed to analyze the biodiversity and structure of the zooplankton community in waters. The study was carried out, from May to September 2019 at five stations. Data analysis calculating the value of composition, abundance, similarity index, biological index, and PCA. Based on the study obtained, the zooplankton consisted of 17 classes and 47 genera. Based on location and time, respectively, the average composition of Malacostraca (47.2% and 49.8%) and Ciliata (40.6% and 37%). Based on location and time observation, the average diversity index (H’) was (0.8-1.6) and (1.2-1.6); evenness index was (0.7-0.8) and (0.6-0.9); and index dominance was (0.3-0.6) and (0.3-0.4) respectively. The PCA results divided into 3 groups and the results of the similarity index showed the zooplankton abundance had the highest similarity value at Stations 3 and 5 (0.829) and based on water parameters showed that the highest similarity is 0.98. Based on the community structure index, it is found that the condition of the zooplankton structure community in Cengkok coastal waters (Banten Bay) was medium stressed.

Plankton community in the sea waters around Panjang and Pamujan Besar islands, Banten Bay

“…The Bacillariophyceae class dominated the composition of phytoplankton at six stations in the Panjang and Pamujan Besar Islands. This result is in line with the study of [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] stating that phytoplankton generally has High species richness in marine waters coming from the class Bacillariophyceae. Species from the Bacillariophyceae class that appear dominant are different for each station and month.…”

“…Stations 4 -6 have relatively higher abundances than Stations 1 -3. The results of this study are similar to the results of a study conducted by [9], which was carried out on the Cengkok coast (Banten Bay), and found a large number of crustaceans. The total abundance of zooplankton (ind/m3) at each observation station differed from that of phytoplankton.…”

“…Several studies related to the waters, including the physical, chemical, and biological parameters of the Banten Bay were carried out by some researchers i.e. the physical and chemical conditions of the Cengkok coastal waters [6], the physical chemical condition of the Bojonegara coastal waters [7], the physical and chemical waters around the seas of Panjang and Pamujan Besar Islands [8], plankton on the Cengkok beach [9], heavy metals in several aquatic organisms [10][11][12][13][14][15], fish biology [16,17], and fish parasites [18]. However, to date, no one has reported related plankton found around the sea waters of Panjang and Pamujan Besar Islands.…”

Biodiversity and Community Structure of Zooplankton in The Domas Coastal waters of Banten Bay, West Java, Indonesia

“…Several research activities in Banten Bay were carried out, generally based on scientific fields and locations. Some of these research activities are the Physico-chemical conditions of Cengkok coastal waters [3], Bojonegara coastal waters [4], marine waters around Panjang Island and Pamujan Besar [5], plankton in Cengkok coastal waters [6], plankton at Bojonegara coastal waters [7], benthos in Cengkok coastal waters [8], heavy metal in several aquatic organisms [9][10][11][12][13][14], fish biology [15,16], and fish parasites [17]. However, study on zooplankton in this coastal waters has never been reported.…”

“…Several research activities were carried out in Banten Bay, including the physical and chemical environmental conditions of the waters at Cengkok Beach and Bojonegara [3,4], plankton at Cengkok Beach [5], benthos at Cengkok Beach [6], heavy metal content in several biotas in the Cengkok Beach area [7][8][9][10][11], fish biology [12,13], and parasites in fish [14]. In addition, several studies have also been [15,16].…”
