Karakteristik Spesies Ikan Sebarau (Hampala MACROLEPIDOTA Kuhl & Van Hasselt, 1823) Di Indonesia
ABSTRACT
Sebarau fish (Hampala macrolepidota) is native species to Indonesia with a wide distribution in Southeast Asia and has potential as a consumption fish and ornamental fish. H. macrolepidota can be found in diverse water conditions in Indonesia so this causes differences in morphological characters. Therefore, is it interesting to research it. This research aims to classify fish geographically based on morphological characteristics, analyze differences morphological characteristics, and determine the effect of habitat on morphology of H. macrolepidota. This research was conducted at Fish Biosystematics Laboratory, Biosystematics and Evolution Research Center-BRIN Cibinong. The samples used were 371 wet-preserved specimens of H. macrolepidota in Indonesia from various waters. The method used is a meristic and morphometric approach, both standard morphometric and truss morphometric. The collected data was analyzed using discriminant analysis and t-test. Research result showed that there is no significant differcence in the characterization using meristic on the islands of Sumatera, Jawa, and Kalimantan while in morphometric method, there is a tendency standard morphometrics is more accurate than truss morphometrics for classified H. macrolepidota according to their distribution area in Indonesia. The grouping can be affected by the physical conditions of the environment caused by differences water conditions on the islands of Sumatera, Jawa, and Kalimantan. Differences in lentic and lotic habitats result in significant differences in morphology of H. macrolepidota, such as length, height, and width in some parts of the body fish. This shows that habitat conditions can causes variation morphology of fish.
Key findings: Habitat, sebarau fish, meristic, morphology, morphometric.
