Seagrass sampling in this study was carried out using purposive sampling method at 4 research stations. The results of this study were found in 37 species of old seagrass leaves consisting of 9 classes, namely Bacillariophyceae, Mediophyceae, Coscinodiscophyceae, Euglenoidea, Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae, Chorophyceae, Chrysophyta and Xexanauplia. While in young seagrass leaves there are 33 species consisting of 8 classes, namely Bacillariophyceae, Mediophyceae, Coscinodiscophyceae, Euglenoidea, Cyanophceae, Chrysophyta, Dinophyceae and Hexanauplia. The highest periphyton composition in old and young leaves was in the Bacillariophyceae class with a percentage of 67% on young leaves and 70.9% on old leaves. The diversity index value obtained showed moderate distribution criteria because the number of periphyton individuals found in old and young leaves was relatively the same.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
