Tanjung Rising Coastal, located in Dendang Village, Bangka Belitung Islands, has a large variety of substrates and organisms. One of the types of marine life studied is the Mollusk Phylum including the Bivalve and Gastropod classes. To find out the diversity of Bivalvia and Gastropoda, this study was carried out on Tanjung Rising Coastal, Bangka Belitung Islands. The study was conducted in December 2020-August 2021, using belt transect method with purposive sampling technique. Samples were collected at station 1 with a sandy substrate and station 2 with a muddy substrate. The results of this study found 1,372 individuals from the Bivalvia class consisting of 7 families and 12 species, while from the Gastropod class yielded 2,630 individuals consisting of 5 families and 7 species. The diversity and evenness index at both stations is relatively low which means that there are species that dominate, because both stations have good habitats for the dominating species. In addition, temperature, pH, salinity, depth, and strong currents showed good values for Bivalvia and Gastropoda habitat. In summary, Tanjung Rising Beach is still a good habitat for invertebrate animals, especially Bivalvia and Gastropoda.
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.
