Struktur Komunitas Makrozoobentos di Ekosistem Perairan Mangrove Desa Pejarakan, Bali

Abstract

Struktur komunitas makrozoobentos yang menurun biasanya menjadi indikator adanya gangguan ekosistem di perairan tersebut, hal ini disebabkan makrozoobentos mobilitas rendah serta siklus hidup relatif panjang, sehingga mampu merespon dengan segera gangguan di lingkungan secara kontinyu. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis struktur komunitas makrozoobentos, yang mencakup komposisi jenis, kepadatan, indeks keanekaragaman, indeks keseragaman, dan indeks dominansi pada lingkungan perairan mangrove dan sekitarnya di Desa Pejarakan, Bali. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan September 2022, Januari 2023, September 2023 dan Januari 2024 dengan enam titik stasiun pengamatan, yang mewakili inlet tambak, outlet tambak dan area mangrove. Sampel bentos diambil menggunakan Van Veen Grab serta dilakukan pengukuran kualitas air secara insitu. Data dianalisis menggunakan struktur komunitas, PCA, indeks similaritas Bray-Curtis, serta AMBI dan M-AMBI. Makrozoobentos di lokasi penelitian tersusun atas lima filum. Kepadatan tertinggi pada Januari 2024 yaitu 289 ind/m2. Indeks keanekaragaman (H’) rendah-sedang (1,99 3,17), keseragaman (E) tinggi (0,69-0,96), dominanasi (C) rendah-sedang (0,13-0,38). Analisis PCA menunjukkan persebaran makrozoobentos dipengaruhi oleh parameter kekeruhan dan TSS. Analisis AMBI menunjukkan dominan makrozoobentos bersifat umum dengan nilai AMBI berkisar 0,62-1,29.

Decreased macrozoobenthic community structure is usually an indicator of ecosystem disturbance in these waters, this is due to macrozoobenthic low mobility and a relatively longlife cycle, so that it is able to respond immediately to continuous disturbances in the environment. This research aims to analyze macrozoobenthic community structure, which includes genera composition, density, diversity index, evenness index, and dominance index in the mangrove ecosystem waters and its surroundings in Pejarakan Village, Bali. This research was conducted in September 2022, January 2023, September 2023 and January 2024 with six observation stations representing shrimp pond inlet, outlet, and mangrove area. Benthos samples were taken using a VanVeen Grab and water quality measurements were carried out in-situ. Data were analyzed using community structure, PCA, Bray-Curtis similarity index, and AMBI and M-AMBI. The macrozoobenthos at the research location is composed of five phyla. The highest density will be in January 2024, (289 ind/m2). Diversity index (H') is low-medium (1.99-3.17), uniformity (E) is high (0,69-0,96), dominance (C) is low medium (0,13-0,38). PCA analysis shows that the distribution of macrozoobenthos is influenced by turbidity and TSS parameters. AMBI analysis shows that the dominant macrozoobenthos is general with AMBI values ranging from 0,62-1,29.
