Hubungan Kondisi Tutupan Karang Dengan Kepadatan Megabentos Di Pulau Pandan Provinsi Sumatera Barat
Abstract
This research was conducted in February 2021 in the waters of Pandan
Island, West Sumatra Province. This study aims to determine the relationship
between coral cover and the density of megabenthos found in the Pandan Island
area. The method used in this study is a survey method. Coral cover data was
collected using the LIT (Line Intercept Transect) method and megabenthos data
was collected using the Benthos Belt Transect method. The results showed that
Pandan Island had a good percentage of coral cover. The highest density of
megabenthos was trokha snails found at each station, while the lowest density was
Acanthaster planci which was only found at three stations and had a percentage of
coral cover that had an influence on megabenthos density. Then it was also found
that there was a strong negative relationship between coral cover and noneconomic
megabenthos, which indicated that there was an effect of the percentage
of coral cover on both economic and non-economical megabenthos.
Keywords: Coral cover, Megabenthos, LIT (Line Intercept Transect), Benthos
