Cnidaria is a species has character very susceptible to environmental conditions that are seawater exposed, salinity, currents and depth [35,14] . Invertebrate organisms with has actively moving -Echinodermata and Arthropod phyla-found random distribution category by Morisita index.…”

The intertidal of Pangandaran is one of the tourist destinations on the southern coast of Java Island. The purpose of this study was to describe the diversity, distribution of invertebrate in Pangandaran Tourism, West Java Province, Indonesia. The sample were taken from eight site sampling locations from July 2017 to November 2018. Sample taken with line transect method and their diversity and distribution was analyzed by Morisita Index and Similarity Index. The research found 139 species spread to 12 classes and 7 phyla of invertebrate. A phylum of mollusca dominated with 71.2%, followed by Cnidaria with 7.9%. Faunus ater, Terebia sp, Clithon oualaniensis found dominant in muddy shore substrate, Cerithium breviculum, Thais jubilaea, Anthopleura elegentissima found dominant in rocky shore substrate and Hastula bacillus just found in sand shore substrate. Clibanarius vittatus is a cosmopolitan crustacea species found in every substrate characteristic with abundance (69 ± 15) ind.m -2 . High diversity shows in rocky shore substrate with a range H' (3.99-5.08) and low diversity shows on steep crag substrate with range H' (0.50-0.65). The distribution of group categories by Morisita is dominant, while the cluster analysis of Bray-Curtis showed four clusters based on the difference of substrate. Diversity and abundance decrease of invertebrate communities influenced by pressure from anthropogenic activities, tourism activities, illegal trade fossil and invertebrate as live, capture and water pollution.

“…Metridium senile is robust in its responses to changes in water temperature, tolerating short exposures to temperatures up to 24 °C, although it is primarily found in cooler waters (below freezing to 20 °C: Stephenson 1935 ; Glon et al 2019 ). They are also tolerant of a broad range of salinities from 14.8 to 37.5‰, enabling them to thrive in both the open ocean and occasionally in estuarine conditions (Shumway 1978 ; Glon et al 2019 ). At lower latitudes, populations become more patchy and move increasingly into cooler sublittoral depths (Walsh and Somero 1981 ; Shick 1991 ).…”

“…Although an exact length of time that these larvae are able to exist planktonically is unknown, they are believed to stay in this stage for several months, being readily dispersed or carried over long distances to new habitat (Gemmill 1920 ; Hoffmann 1987 ). The more common method of reproduction is asexual reproduction by pedal laceration, which can occur in all individuals, at all times of year, and lead to dense clonal groups (Hand 1956 ; Hoffmann 1987 ; Lombardi and Lesser 2010 ; Glon et al 2019 ).…”

“…Species may display unique reproductive responses to stress, which shows variation in trade-offs between types of reproduction. Both N. vectensis and M. senile are more likely to undergo asexual and sexual reproduction in favorable conditions than under stress, with the difference in output more pronounced for sexual rather than asexual reproduction (Hand and Uhlinger 1992 , Glon et al 2019 ). However, the increase in the fission rate of D. lineata particularly when temperatures are higher may be more beneficial in increasing the surface area to volume ratio, as there is higher biomass accumulation (Ryan and Miller 2019 ; Ryan et al 2019 ).…”

Mediators of invasions in the sea: life history strategies and dispersal vectors facilitating global sea anemone introductions

Widespread non-native species tend to demonstrate an apparent lack of selectivity in habitat requirements, feeding regimes, and reproductive needs, while displaying a tendency to thrive in human-modified habitats. The high phenotypic plasticity typical of sessile, substrate-attached marine species may enhance their chances of survival and spread in a new region. Anthropogenic activities have changed marine habitats over a wide range of phenomena, including water temperature, community species composition, and the types of available substrates, creating new physical and biotic regimes that may contribute to the potential for successful species introduction. Here we examine ten species of sea anemones that have been introduced outside of their native range, and elucidate specific characteristics that are common among globally introduced sea anemones. Various life history strategies enable these species to survive and flourish through transport, introduction, establishment and spread, leading to the successful colonization of a new geographic area. Considering life history strategies and weighing of vector potential, we suggest conditions that facilitate introduction of these species, and identify species of sea anemones that may be introduced in the future in the face of changing climate and increased anthropogenic activities.

“…As the most abundant and widespread anemone species in the world, M. senile is mainly distributed in the intertidal zone and at a water depth of 100 m (Li and Xu, 2020). In recent years, with the proliferation of artificial substrates, including marine litter, M. senile has not only shown a trend of outbreak in local areas, but also significantly expanded its distribution in the global scope (Xu et al, 2009;Glon et al, 2019;Teng et al, 2021a).…”

Cascade effects of seafloor litter on benthic ecosystems in the northern Yellow Sea

The accumulation of seafloor litter changes the habitats of benthic organisms and thus affects their spatial distribution. Previous studies suggested that the accumulation of seafloor litter might contribute to the bloom of Metridium senile fimbriatum, given that seafloor litter could serve as “vectors” for M. senile dispersal and provide with “natural habitat” for their settlement. As a common fouler and invader, M. senile bloom will inevitably affect the benthic ecosystems. The cascading effects of seafloor litter on benthic ecosystems can be explored by studying the interactions between this litter-associated anemone and other co-occurred species. Therefore, this study uses stable isotope analysis to study the food composition of M. senile attached to the seafloor litter and the niche relationship with co-occurred species. First, by comparing the stable isotope ratios of the pedal disc and tentacle of M. senile, it was found that the δ15N of the foot disc is more stable than that of the tentacle, so the pedal disc was chosen as the sampling tissue. The mean δ13C value of M. senile was -19.34 ± 0.86‰, which ranged from -22.30‰ to -18.17‰. For δ15N, the mean value was 12.02 ± 0.95‰, which ranged from 9.22‰ to 13.31‰. Then, we quantified the contribution of the potential food resources of M. senile using the SIMMR model. M. senile has the highest feeding proportion to crustaceans, followed by juvenile fish, zooplankton and other macrobenthos. Meanwhile, M. senile has high uncertainty in the feeding proportion of crustaceans and juvenile fish. In addition, the trophic niche overlap between different functional groups was calculated by the SIBER model, and the results showed that the isotopic niche of M. senile was overlapped with different functional groups, ranging from 34.29 to 35.25%. Therefore, this study suggests that M. senile, as litter-associated carnivorous anemone, interacts with other components in the ecosystems through predation and competition, which also reveals the cascade effect of seafloor litter on the benthic ecosystems of the northern Yellow Sea.
