COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF  SEAWEED  AT COASTAL AREA OF  HARUKU ISLAND,  CENTRAL MOLLUCAS PROVINCE

The study of seaweed biodiversity was conducted in Ory, Pelaw, Kailolo, and Waimital coatal waters of Haruku island in 2011. The purposes or this study were to determine the density and biodiversity of makroalgae in the coastal waters of the Haruku island. Data collection were conducted in June-September 2011 with square transect line method. The results showed that in the coastal area of Kailolo exhibited the highest value in density and biodiversity of macroalgae in the study regions with 47 species from 31 genera consisting of 21 species of red algae, 14 species of green algae and 13 species of brown algae. Gracilaria, Acanthophora, Sargassum, Turbinaria, Caulerpa, and Halimeda were the most dominance in the region. The highest biomass of macroalga found in the Kailolo coastal waters was due to its relatively good habitat contidion consisting of dead coral rubble, sand, coral live with seagrass vegetation dominated by Thalasia hemprizii and Halodule uninervis. Meanwhile, habitat condition at the other locations had suffered a severe damage and dominated by dead coral. Environmental conditions in the study region were within the limits of decent support for the growth of macro algae. Keywords: Macroalgae, diversity, biodiversity, substrat, Haruku island

The study on seaweed density and diversity in many substrates was conducted in Weda Bay waters, North Mollucas in 2013. The objectives of this research was to determine the density and diversity of seaweed in many different substrates and to determine the relationship of substrate types and seaweed density and diversity in Weda Bay waters. Data were collected using quadrate transect method and collections. The result showed that the coastal area of Batlol, Weda Bay contained higher density and diversity of macroalgae than other locations with 35 species of 24 families consisting of 14 species of red macroalgae, 12 species of green algae, and 9 species of brown algae. The dominan families of macroalgae were Gracilaria, Acanthophora, Caulerpa, Halimeda, Sargassum, and Turbinaria. The dominant difference of macroalgae in each location was caused by differences in habitat type, e.q., habitat in Batlol consisted of fragments of dead coral, sand, little living coral with vegetation seaweed that dominated by Thalasia hemprizii and Symodacea rotundata. While habitat conditions at other locations experienced severe damage that dominated by chunks of dead coral, dead coral rubble, and sand. Environmental conditions in study regions were considered to be in a good condition to support macro-algae growth.Keywords: seaweed, macro algae, substrate, density, diversity, Weda Bay

Frame Work

Coastal waters of Tanjung Sira has calcareousalgae of the genus Halimeda limestone, Padina, Amphiroa, Galaxaura, Corallina, Hydrolithon, Mesophyllum, Peysonallia, Porolithon and Sporolithon. The substrate that used as habitat are sand, coarse sand, rocks and dead coral rubble. Calcium carbonate contained on calcareous algae fungsioning as adhesive and encrusting dead coral, shells of mollusks that have decayed and massive objects in the waters of the sea. The research aims was to determine the growth characteristics of calcareousalgae in the reef flats, local distribution, calcium carbonate contain and its contribution as a frame work coastal reef waters. The research method using transect (Buckland et al., 1993). Identification of the type of aragonite and calcite according to Cordero (1977). Analysis of calcium carbonate according to Hillis (1980). The results showed that the green and brown calcareousalgae found in the reef flats, has thallus and tubers. Red calcareousalgae grew as encrusting on dead reefs and massif substrate. There are 16 species of calcareous algae that found in reseach area, 10 species containing aragonite mineral and 6 species containing calcite mineral. The content of calcium carbonate on each species obtained 100-450 g/m² consists of aragonite and calcite minerals. Calcareousalgae contribute in the new formation of coral reef ecosystems. The other benefit of calcareaousalgae in the coastal waters is an additional food for herbivorous fish. The content of calcium carbonate on calcareousalgae species is used in pharmaceutical field as drug ingredients and supplements for humans.

Shallow Coastal Waters

Seagrasses in the Air Bangis Archipelago, west coast of Sumatra were found growing in sandy muddy substratesof the shallow coastal waters at depth of 0.3-2.5 m, dominated by degraded coral reefs around the off-shoreislands. Two species; Enhalus acoroides (L.f) Royle and Thalassia hemprichii (Ehrenb) Aschers were observed atPulau Unggas, Pulau Pasir Panjang and Teluk Tapang. Halodule uninervis (Forssk) Aschers was observed in twolocations; Pasir Panjang and Teluk Tapang. The occurrence of this species is unknown previously and therefore itis a new flora record for Sumatra. With this new record, Sumatra has six species of seagrasses, contributing tohalf of total number of seagrasses occurring in Indonesia. According to leaf width measurements, two morphologicalvariants (narrow and wide leaved) can be distinguished for Halodule uninervis. In addition, descriptions of thespecies and their habitat characteristic are provided.

A small population of dugongs was discovered in coastal waters of the Lease islands in eastern Indonesia. Studies on behaviour and feeding ecology revealed information on the interaction with seagrass meadows, modes of surfacing and submergence times and behaviour in the presence of scuba divers. Regular concentrated feeding was observed in a grazing sward at a subtidal monospecific Halophila ovalis meadow, confirming earlier observations of regular recropping by dugongs of grazing swards, covered by monospecific Halodule uninervis, inside an intertidal multi-species meadow.

ABSTRAK Terumbu karang tepi di Pulau Mandangin tersusun substrat biotik dan abiotik dengan kedalaman tidak lebih dari 40 m. Pulau Mandangin adalah pulau kecil yang memiliki komposisi substrat dasar seperti terumbu karang dan perairannya yaitu zona leeward dan zona windward. Zona leeward adalah sisi yang membelakangi arah datangnya angin, sedangkan zona windward adalah sisi yang menghadap arah datangnya angin. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui komposisi penyusun terumbu karang tepi (fringing reef) dan mengetahui perbedaan komposisi penyusun terumbu karang tepi (fringing reef) antara zona leeward dan zona windward di Pulau Mandangin. Metode yang digunakan adalah Line Intercept Transect (LIT) secara vertikal, LIT dimulai dari surut terendah sampai daerah reef slope dan dilakukan pencatatan semua jenis substrat yang dibawah garis transek. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan zona fringing reef yang mengelilingi Pulau Mandangin tersusun atas substrat rubble, sand, alga, rock, dead coral, dead coral with algae, sponge, coral massive dan coral submassive. Zona leeward lebih bervariasi dari zona windward dalam susunan fringing reef. Hal ini karena angin yang terjadi di zona windward lebih besar dari zona leeward, sehingga substrat di zona windward hanya rubble dan sand. Kata kunci: Fringing reef, zona windward, zona leeward, substrat, Pulau Mandangin ABSTRACT Fringing reef in Mandangin Island comprises of biotic and abiotic substrates in depth not more than 40 m. Mandangin Island is a small island with base substrate composition mostly involving coral reef. The waters include leeward and windward zones. Leeward zone is paralleling with wind incoming direction, whereas windward zone is facing on wind incoming direction. The objective of research is to understand the composition that constitutes fringing reef and to recognize different constitutive composition of fringing reef at leeward zone and windward zone in Mandangin Island. Method of research is Line Intercept Transect (LIT) that is applied vertically. LIT starts from the lowest ebb toward the reef slope zone, and it involves registering all substrate types below transect line. Result of research indicates that fringing zone surrounding Mandangin Island consists of various substrates such as rubble, sand, alga, rock, dead coral, dead coral with algae, sponge, coral massive and coral sub-massive. Leeward zone is more diversified in fringing reef composition than windward zone. It is evident because wind occurrence at windward zone is higher than at leeward zone, and thus, substrates at windward zone include only rubble and sand.
