Kelimpahan Dan Keanekaragaman Karang Jamur Famili Fungiidae Di Perairan Pulau Pasumpahan, Sumatra Barat
Mushroom coral (Fungiidae) is one of the families of hard corals (scleractinian) that live off the substrate (free-living) and most of the mushroom coral habitat is found on the reef slope which has a substrate of broken coral. The purpose of this study was to analyze the abundance and diversity and determine the differences in abundance of mushroom corals at different depths. This research was conducted in March 2024 in the waters of Pasumpahan Island, West Sumatra. This study used survey method and belt transect method. The sampling location was divided into 3 stations consisting of 3 sampling points. Station I is located in the tourist area, Station II in the dock area and Station III is in the area facing the open sea. The results showed that the highest abundance based on depth was found at station III with a depth of 7 m, namely 4357.14 ind/Ha and the lowest abundance was found at station II with a depth of 5 m, namely 1285.71 ind/Ha. The t-test results obtained a significant value of less than 0.05, namely 0.048, which means that the abundance of mushroom corals at different depths is significantly different. The diversity index ranges from 1.930–2.013 which shows the level of diversity of mushroom corals in the waters of Pasumpahan Island is classified as moderate.
