Abstract. Sihombing VS, Gunawan H, Sawitri R.2017. Diversity and community structure of fish, plankton and benthos in Karangsong Mangrove Conservation Areas, Indramayu, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 601-608. The Karangsong Mangrove Conservation Area in Indramayu District, West Java, Indonesia, extending across 20 hectares of coastal land, has undergone eight years of managed revegetation. It has a variety of productive habitats that support the availability of fish resources. The research described in this paper was conducted in July 2016 with the purpose of assessing the diversity, evenness, and structure of fish, plankton and benthos communities as an indicator of the effectiveness of the rehabilitation of the mangrove ecosystem. The fish, benthos, and plankton were collected and analyzed in the Biotrop Laboratories. Fish sampling was carried out using a gill net with mesh size of 25 mm, and with traps. Juvenile fish were collected using a fish net with mesh size of 15 mm, by combing the water column horizontally for 10-15 minutes in the morning and afternoon. For plankton sampling a net No. 25 was used, while samples of benthos were collected using an Ekman Grab sampler. To calculate the community structure and diversity of fish, the study used ecological indices (abundance, dominance, constancy and ecological significance) and diversity indices (Shannon and Simpson diversity). A total of 413 individuals were obtained from 18 fish species, representing 16 families. Family Lutjanidae and Acanthuridae had the highest representative number of species and Pomacentridae showed the highest relative abundance of individuals. The value for the fish diversity index was 2.44 and for the species evenness index was 0.84. The fish population consisted of 44.44% omnivores, 38.89% carnivores and 16.67% herbivores/ detritivores. The highest density of plankton was accounted for by Bacillariophyceae (78.57%), followed by Chlorophyceae (14.29%) and Zooplankton (7.14%). The diversity index for the plankton (H) ranged between 1.040 and 1.462 across habitats, while the evenness index (E) ranged between 0.144 and 1.22. The benthos consisted of Gastropods (83.58%), Crustacea (3.28%), Palaemonidae (1.64%) and Oligochaeta (11.48%). The diversity index for the benthos ranged from 0. 939 to 1. 199 and the evenness index from 0.158 to 0.207. Hence, it may infer from the domination of the environment by Bacillariophyceae and Gastropods, and the low values for diversity index and evenness index, that the area is not particularly good as a fish nursery and breeding habitat. Nevertheless, there are two species of fish that exhibit potential productivity in every habitat; they are Chanos chanos and Scatophagus argus.

“…Wantiez and Kulbicki (1995) found leiognathids of soft bottom communities were the major species in density and biomass like L. rivulatus and S. ruconius. In India, pugnose ponyfish (Secutor sp) is one of the major by-catch composition (Muddula 2015) from the country leiognathids were known 16 species (Abraham et al 2011), in Sri Lanka 13 species , in Malaysia 22 species (Seah et al 2011) that were identified from eight or nine genera (Seah et al 2012), at certain location of Malaysia such as the coastal waters of Pulau Sibu-Tinggi nine species (Mazlan et al 2006), and in Thailand found in intertidal mudflats seven species (Sichum and Tantichodok 2013). In Indonesia, these fishes from various places were reported 11 species (Suyatna et al 2010), 10 species (Wedjatmiko 2007), 20 species (Pauly 1977.…”

Abstract. Suyatna I, Sidik AS, Almadi FA, Rizal S, Sukarti K. 2016. Fish community structure in high water temperature around Bontang Industrial Estate, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 17: 558-564. We have conducted studies on fish community and their physical and chemical properties of coastal waters in the work area of the industrial estate from 2012 to 2014. At least four industries are known to use the coastal waters in cooling their processing equipments, the hot wastewater is then discharged back into the coastal environment. The current study reports the result of a survey undertaken around the work area of PT Blackbear Resources Indonesia. The result showed that high water temperature and tidal fluctuation are affecting the fish community in the area. By sampling results, during HWL of the spring tide at the maximum of water temperature of 35,9 o C, fish were the most populated and found 5999 ind. or 72,4% of the total number of 8291 fish. During LWL of the same tide type fish were observed 1931 ind (23.3%) and during the neap tide 361 ind (4.3%) at the maximum of water temperature of approximately 40 o C, this ambient showed that the fish population drastically change in number and the environment became undesirable.
