Kelimpahan Dan Keanekaragaman Karang Jamur Famili Fungiidae Di Perairan Pulau Pagang, Sumatera Barat
Mushroom corals (Fungiidae) are one of the families of hard corals (scleractinians) that live free from substrates (free-living) and most mushroom coral habitats are found on reef slopes with fractured coral substrates. The objective of this study was to analyze the abundance and diversity of mushroom corals and to determine differences in their abundance at different stations. The study was conducted in March 2025 in the waters around Pagang Island, West Sumatra. The study employed survey and belt transect methods. The sampling locations were divided into three stations, each consisting of three sampling points. Station I was located in a coral reef area near the ship traffic between the island and the mainland, Station II was located in a coral reef area near a recreational area, and Station III was located in a coral reef area free from human activity. The results showed that the highest abundance was found at Station III, with 1,416.64 ind/Ha, and the lowest abundance was found at Station II, with 333.32 ind/Ha. The ANOVA test yielded a significant value of less than 0.05 (0.023), indicating that the abundance of mushroom corals at different stations differed significantly. The diversity index ranged from 1.039 to 1.823, indicating that the diversity of mushroom corals in the waters around Pagang Island is moderate.
