Hubungan Kepadatan Mikroplastik Dengan Makrozoobentos Di Kawasan Pantai Desa Manggung Kota Pariaman Provinsi Sumatera Barat
ABSTRACT
The presence of microplastics may negatively affect the macrozoobenthos, as it may be swallowed and can not be digested properly. The health as well as the reproduction of the macrozoobenthos may be affected and its populaton might be decreased. This research aims to determine the correlation between the microplastic and macrozoobenthos density in the coastal area of the Manggung Village and it was conducted in May-June 2019. There were 3 sampling sites and there were 3 plots (50x50 cm) in each site. Sediment inside the plot was scrapped, 10 cm depth. Results shown that there were 4 types of microplastic, namely fiber, fragment, film, and foam (3640 item/m3). There were 5 type of macrozoobenthos present, namely gastropod such as Littorina litorea, Littorina intermedia, Littorina bervicula, Olivia multiplicate, and Bivalva such as Tellina radiata. The density of macrozoobenthos in general was 880 organisms/m3. The correlation coefficient of microplastic and macrozoobenthos density was 0.3469, indicates that their correlation was low.
Keywords: plastic waste, shore area, gastropod, bivalva, sediment.
