Sungai Jajar merupakan salah satu sungai besar yang aliran sungainya banyak dimanfaatkan penduduk sekitar. Kondisi ini akan berdampak terhadap kualitas perairan yang dapat mengakibatkan suatu pencemaran. Makrozoobentos merupakan hewan yang hidup di dasar perairan dan dapat dijadikan sebagai bioindikator karena habitat hidupnya relatif menetap. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tekstur sedimen, kandungan bahan organik, kelimpahan makrozoobentos, hubungan tekstur sedimen dengan bahan organik; tekstur sedimen dengan kelimpahan makrozoobenthos; dan hubungan bahan organik dengan kelimpahan makrozoobenthos. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret-April 2018 menggunakan teknik purposive random sampling dengan total 6 stasiun. Sampel yang diambil adalah substrat dan makrozoobenthos. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa nilai fraksi sand berkisar antara 3,66 -8,40%; fraksi silt berkisar antara 1,29-1,80% dan fraksi clay berkisar antara 89,89-94,81%. Jenis makrozoobentos yang ditemukan dikelompokkan dalam 3 kelas, yaitu: Gastropoda (Cerithidea sp, Terebra sp, Pila sp, Murex sp, Urosalpinx sp, Filopaludina sp dan Telescopium sp), Bivalvia (Anadara sp, Mesodesma sp, Mytillus sp) dan Polychaeta (Nereis sp). Kelimpahan individu berkisar antara 280-2320 ind/m2 dengan kelimpahan tertinggi terdapat pada stasiun III dan kelimpahan terendah pada stasiun I. Kandungan bahan organik berkisar antara 6,73-9,4 %. Hubungan bahan organik dengan tekstur sedimen memiliki korelasi yang cukup erat. Hubungan antara tesktur sedimen dengan kelimpahan makrozoobenthos memiliki korelasi yang rendah. Hubungan bahan organik dengan kelimpahan makrozoobenthos menunjukkan hubungan yang cukup erat dengan nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,557. Sungai Jajar is one of the major rivers where the river flows are widely used by local people. This condition will have an impact on water quality which can cause a pollution. Macrozoobenthos are organism that live in the bottom of the water and can be used as bioindicators because their habitat is relatively sedentary. The purpose of this study was to determine sediment texture, organic matter, abundance of macrozoobenthos, sediment textures relationship with abundance of macrozoobenthos; relationship of organic matter with sediment texture; and the relationship of organic matter with abundance of macrozoobenthos. The study was conducted in March-April 2018 using purposive random sampling method technique with a total of 6 stations. The samples taken were substrate and makrozoobenthos. The result refers that sand fraction value ranged from 3,66%-8,40%; Silt fraction ranged from 1,29%-1,80% and clay fraction ranged from 89,89%-94,81%. Macrozoobenthos found in three classes are: Gastropods (Cerithidea sp, Terebra sp, Pila sp, Murex sp, Urosalpinx sp, Filopaludina sp and Telescopium sp), Bivalvia (Anadara sp, Mesodesma sp, Mytillus sp) and Polychaeta (Nereis sp). Individual abundance ranged from 280-2320 ind/m2 with the highest abundance found at station III and the lowest abundance at station I. The content of organic material ranges from 6,73% -9,4%. The relationship of organic matter with sediment texture has moderate correlation. The relationship between sediment texture and abundance of macrozoobenthos has low correlation. The relationship of organic matter with abundance of makrozoobenthos shows a fairly strong relationship with a correlation coefficient of 0,557.
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.
