This study was aimed at finding Gastropod species and studying the community structure in the coastal area of Kampung Ambon, Likupang, through species density, diversity, evenness and dominance analyses. It was carried out in August 2017. The study employed transect method with quadrats by placing the on the area covered with coral-sand mix substrates. Density analysis found total numbers of 168 individuals with mean density of 7 ind/m². Spesies of the highest indiviual numbers was Cypraea annulus with a total of 98 individuals. Species diversity (H’) was 0.632773. This value reflects that the species diversity is moderate. Species richness index was R ˃ 4 reflecting that there is high species richness. Species evenness index was ˃ 0,5 meaning that the gastropods in the area are sufficiently even. Dominance index ranged from 0.27 to 0.47 indicating no species dominance in the study site.Key Words : Gastropod, density, diversity, evenness, dominance ABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mempelajari jenis-jenis gastropoda apa saja yang ditemukan dan mempelajari struktur komunitas melalui analisis kepadatan, keanekaragaman, kekayaan, kemerataan, dan dominasi spesies di daerah intertidal perairan Kampung Ambong Likupang. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus 2017. menempatkan pada satu macam habitat yaitu kawasan yang didominasi oleh substrat karang yang bercampur pasir. Hasil analisis kepadatan menunjukkan bahwa di ketiga transek pengamatan jumlah individu yang diperoleh berjumlah 168 individu dengan kepadatan rata-rata per kuadrat 7 ind/m². Spesies dengan individu yang terbanyak adalah Cypraea annulus dengan jumlah individu sebanyak 98 individu. Keanekaragaman spesies yang diperoleh yaitu H’ = 0.632773. Nilai ini tergolong pada tingkat keanekaragaman sedang. Indeks kekayaan diperoleh nilai R ˃ 4, kriteria ini tergolong pada indeks kekayaan yang tinggi. Indeks kemerataan spesies diperoleh nilai ˃ 0,5 yang berarti spesies yang ada cukup merata, dan indeks dominasi diperoleh pada kisaran 0,27 – 0,47 yang menunjukkan tidak ada dominansi spesies di lokasi penelitian.Kata Kunci : Gastropoda, kepadatan, keanekaragaman, kekayaan, dominasi
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.
