Hubungan Ukuran Butir Sedimen Dengan Kelimpahan Bivalvia Di Perairan Pantai Nirwana Kota Padang Provinsi Sumatera Barat
Nirwana Beach is situated in Lubuk Begalung Sub-district, Padang City, West Sumatra, and serves as a habitat for various benthic organisms, including bivalves. This study aims to determine the sediment grain size and the abundance of bivalves, as well as the relationship between the two. The method used was purposive sampling with three stations and five sampling points per station. The results showed two main sediment types: gravel and sand-gravel, with gravel being the dominant type at all stations. Sediment size was classified as granule and very coarse sand, with mean size values ranging from -2.66 to -1. Bivalve abundance was highest at station II (4.6 ind/m²) and lowest at station I (3.2 ind/m²). Regression analysis showed a very strong relationship between sediment grain size and bivalve abundance.
