Sebaran Bentik Foraminifera Pada Sedimen Secara Horizontal Di Selat Rupat Bagian Barat
This research was conducted in May 2014 in the western part of the Rupat Strait Riau Province with its aims to determine the distribution of benthic foraminifera and sedimentation relative velocity. The determination of sampling points was done by using purposive sampling method. The sediments were taken by using Eckman Grab then preserved with Rose Bengal mixed by formalin . The results showed that benthic foraminifera was found in higher amounts in the north and south of the study site. By contrast, the smaller number was found in the middle of the strait and the shoreline with the mangrove. These areas were predominantly influenced by the high flow of current and mangrove area, with relatively moderate sedimentation velocity. In West Rupat the waters was divided into 3 clusters based on the data distribution of benthic species foraminefera namely: group I was found in the northern, central and southern part of the study sites, characterized by dominating species of Reussella hayasakai, Textularia orbica and Bolivina humilis and sediment classified as very fine sand; group II was found in the northern part of the study site with species that as dominated were Fissuripolymorphina aequicellaris, Rosalina Concina and Bolivina humilis with high organic matter content in the study sites; group III was found in the southern part of research location with the dominating species were Ammonia beccari, Textularia articulata and Textularia neoconica with the bottom sediments belonging to very fine sand.
