Kelimpahan Ikan Karang Famili Chaetodontidae Dan Kondisi Terumbu Karang Di Kawasan Pulau Sikuai Sumatera Barat
Coral reefs are massive piles of sediment produced from calcium carbonate produced by the phylum cnidaria, class anthozoa, order madreporaria, with the addition of calcareous algae and other organisms that produce calcium carbonate. One group of biota that lives in association with coral reefs and plays an important role in the coral reef ecosystem is Chaetodontidae fish. The taking of the Chaetodontidae family as research material is because the coral fish of the Chaetodontidae family are indicator fish for coral reef health that can assess, monitor and predict the condition of coral reefs. Given the importance of the function and existence of coral reefs. The purposes of this study were to determine the condition of coral reef cover and analyze the abundance of reef fish Chaetodontidae family and determine the relationship between coral reef cover and abundance of reef fish Chaetodontidae family. This study was conducted in December 2024 in the waters of Sikuai Island, West Sumatra. This study used survey methods, UVC (Underwater Visual Census) and UPT (Underwater Photo Transect). The sampling location was divided into 3 stations in the southern part of Sikuai Island because the southern part of the island is relatively protected from large waves during the west wind season. Station I is next to Sirahdah Island, Station II is in the harbor area and Station III is in the abandoned ship area. The results of the analysis showed that the highest percentage of coral cover was found at Station III, namely 45.13% and the lowest percentage of coral cover was found at Station I, namely 6.47%. The results of the calculation of reef fish abundance showed that the highest abundance of reef fish was found at station III, namely 5000 ind / ha and the abundance of reef fish at station I was 6.47%.
