Habitat Dan Distribusi Kerang Kepah (Polymesoda Erosa) Di Kawasan Mangrove Muara Sungai Tiram Kabupaten Padang Pariaman Sumatera Barat
ABSTRACT
The research was conducted in October 2019 in Tiram estuary mangrove,
the District of Padang Pariaman West Sumatra. This study aims were to determine
the characteristics of the habitat, abundance, size frequency distribution, and the
distribution pattern of Polymesoda erosa in Tiram estuary mangrove. The method
used in this study was a survey method. Mangrove area was divided into 3 zones:
the upper, middle, and lower with the distance between the zones as far as 30 m.
Each zone divided into 5 sampling points using a 1m x 1m plot with the distance
of each sampling point about 40 m. The results showed that the habitat
characteristic of P. erosa has an average value of 30°C, 6 ppt salinity, pH 6, total
organic matter content of the sediment ranged from 2.48 to 2.98%, and suspended
solids material values ranging anta 10-20 mg/L. Abundance was low and there
was no difference in abundance between the observation zone. The distribution
pattern was uneven which was dominated sizes from 3.52 to 3.91 cm.
