Pola Distribusi Dan Kepadatan Teripang Hitam (Holothuria Atra) Di Perairan Teluk Tempurung Desa Bukit Tambun Tulang Kecamatan Batang Kapas Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan Sumatera Barat
Abstract
Sea cucumber is a species that has high economic value if it is used properly. The
habitat that sea cucumbers tend to prefer is the bottom of the water with a
substrate of mud or sand, such as those in Teluk Tempurung, Bukit Tambun
Tulang Village. To find out the level of preference for an organism to its habitat,
it is necessary to look at the distribution pattern of the organism it self. This
research aims to determine the distribution and density of Holothuria atra and
also it’s ecological condition of Teluk Tempurung. The method used in this
research is a swept area (area sweeping) which is called a belt transect. This
method was used to observe biota in a certain area. There are 3 transects for sea
cucumber observation with a transect length of 50 meter, on each transect there
are 3 plots measuring 5x5 meter. Observations were made in three repetitions. The
type of sea cucumber found in the waters of Teluk Tempurung is Holothuria atra
with a density ranging from 0.329 to 0.404 (organisms/ m2). Based on the research
results, it can be concluded that the distribution pattern of Holothuria atra in
Teluk Tempurung, Bukit Tambun Tulang Village is clustered.
