Abstrak : Gangguan eksternal pada ekosistem terumbu karang dapat terjadi secara alami ataupun karena aktifitas manusia yang menimbulkan perubahan fisik maupun ekologis. Perubahan ekologis dapat terlihat dari perubahan komposisi biota yang berasosiasi di dalamnya. Salah satu kelompok biota yang berasosiasi dengan terumbu karang adalah megabenthos. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untk mengetahui kondisi eksisting fauna megabenthos pada ekosistem terumbu karang di perairan Labuhan Pandan Lombok Timur. Pengamatan dilakukan pada 5 stasiun yaitu Gili Bidara (BDR_01), Gili Kondo (KND_01), Gili Petagan 1 (PTG_01), Gili Petagan 2 (PTG_02), dan Gili Petagan 3 (PTG_03). Pengambilan data megabenthos dilakukan dengan metode Benthos Belt Transect (BBT). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ditemukan 15 jenis megabenthos yang termasuk dalam 5 Phylum (Mollusca, Echinodermata, Chordata, Annelida, dan Platyhelminthes). Jumlah jenis tertinggi ditemukan pada phylum Echinodermata (10 jenis), kemudian diikuti oleh Mollusca (2 jenis), Chordata (1 jenis), Annelida (1 jenis), dan Platyhelminthes (1 jenis). Kepadatan megabenthos tertinggi ditemukan pada stasiun BDR_01 (10.571 ind/Ha), kemudian diikuti oleh stasiun KND_01 (10.214 ind/Ha), PTG_02 (9.857 ind/Ha), PTG_03 (8.429 ind/Ha) dan PTG_01 (1.714 ind/Ha). Keanekaragaman jenis tertingi ditemukan pada stasiun PTG_01 (H’=1,14), kemudian diikuti oleh BDR_01 (H’=0,76), KND_01 (H’=0,69), PTG_03 (H’=0,17) dan PTG_02 (H’=0,09). Hasil perhitungan indeks dominansi menunjukkan bahwa Didemnum molle (phylum Chordata)  ditemukan dominan pada seluruh stasiun pengamatan. Ditemukan juga jenis megabenthos pemangsa hewan karang yaitu Acanthaster planci pada stasiun PTG_03 serta Drupella sp. pada stasiun BDR_01, KND_01 dan PTG_02. Beberapa jenis megabenthos yang ditemukan dapat dijadikan bioindikator dalam pemantauan kesehatan ekosistem terumbu karang di Perairan Labuhan Pandan, Lombok Timur.Kata Kunci: Kondisi eksisting, Megabenthos, Gempa Bumi, Labuhan Pandan, Lombok TimurAbstract: External disturbance to the coral reef ecosystem occured by naturally or due to human activities that cause physical and ecological changes. Ecological changes could be seen from changes in the composition of the associated biota. One of the biota groups that associated with coral reefs were megabenthos. The purpose of this study were to determine the condition of the megabenthos fauna on coral reef ecosystems in the Labuhan Pandan waters, Eastern Lombok. Observations were made at 5 stations namely Gili Bidara (BDR_01), Gili Kondo (KND_01), Gili Petagan 1 (PTG_01), Gili Petagan 2 (PTG_02), and Gili Petagan 3 (PTG_03). Data of Megabenthos were collected by Benthos Belt Transect (BBT) method. The results showed that found 15 species of megabenthos included in 5 phylum (Mollusca, Echinoderm, Chordata, Annelida, and Platyhelminthes). The highest number of species were found in Echinoderms phylum (10 species), followed by Mollusca (2 species), Chordata (1 species), Annelida (1 species), and Platyhelminthes (1 species). The highest megabenthos density were found at BDR_01 station (10,571 ind / Ha), then followed by stations KND_01 (10,214 ind / Ha), PTG_02 (9,857 ind / Ha), PTG_03 (8,429 ind / Ha) and PTG_01 (1,714 ind / Ha).

The abundance of Acanthaster planci can be used as a health indicator of coral reef ecosystem. A high abundance of A. planci become phatogen on coral and an indication of unhealthy coral reef ecosystem. The objective of this study was to evaluate health of coral reef ecosystem based on the abundance of A. planci and the percent coral cover at Tunda Island, Banten. Field observation conducted in January 2014. The stations were selected by purposive sampling method and based on four-wind direction i.e., north, south, east, and west. Reef data was measured using Line Intercept Transect (LIT), while sampling method for A. planci using Belt Transect. Results showed that the water temperature ranged of 26-28°C, brightness 100%, current speed ranging between 0.05 ms-1and 0.19 ms-1, and salinity  of 30-32 ppt. The water quality values showed a normal range which support  the life of the coral and A. planci.  The Percent coral cover ranged of 54.95-73.00% indicating a good condition. The abundanceof A. planci was of 0.02-0.03 ind/m2. Result showed that coral cover percentage and the abundance of A. planci did not have a significant relationship. Eventhough an A. planci eats the coral polip, but with small amount of A. planci in the coral reef, they merely help to clean the old and unhealthy polip.  This activity will help corals to regenerate their polip. Overall, based on the small abundance of A. planci and the relatively high coral cover percentage, the coral reef ecosystem in Tunda island was categorised in a healthy condition.

Abstract. Aulia ED, Hadi TA, Utama RS. 2021. Sponge community (Porifera) in coral reef ecosystem in Sabang, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3394-3402. Sponges are one of the most influential benthic organisms in coral reef ecosystems. Many studies about sponge communities have been carried out globally, from tropical to temperate regions. In Indonesia, however, sponge communities have not been adequately observed, especially their diversity and interaction with habitats. Sabang, a developing city located in the northwest of Indonesia, has a lack of information about benthic communities and no reports about sponges. This study investigated the sponge community (species richness, coverage, and morphological characters) and the interactions, both within sponges and with corals and substrates, in Sabang. The study found that the sponge richness (species and morphology) and coverage are categorized as poor, having only 24 species with seven morphologies, and coverage of 1.79 ± 1.03% (SE). The interaction analyses showed significant relationships occur among sponge variables but not between sponges and corals, nor between sponges and their substrates. These results could be attributed to the hydrodynamic-related stresses in Sabang, which are likely influenced by exposure to the open ocean, a condition that is less favorable to diversity and interaction. It is necessary to regularly monitor the condition of benthic communities in Sabang in order to better understand their stable state and detect any change over time.

Mo’orea’s reefs have rebounded from environmental disturbance throughout the years largely due to herbivorous fish that deter damaging algal blooms. This resilience suggests herbivorous fishes act as a keystone species in the coral reef ecosystem, and the greater island community of Mo’orea. Parrotfish support reef health and stability, and reefs support the development of the local economy by way of tourism and access to medicine, nourishment, and protection. Because island communities rely heavily on coral reef ecosystems, identifying the impact of fishing on the morphology and ecosystem function of parrotfish in a time of marine management and demographic transition can increase our knowledge of the vulnerability and resilience of these complex socio-ecosystems. The 2016 study reported here seeks to understand to what extent changes in fisheries management and off-take rates have affected the historically sustainable relationship between Mo’orea’s fishing population, the lagoon’s supply of larger-sized parrotfish, and the ecological stability of the greater coral reef ecosystem. Specifically, this study measured average parrotfish size at various fishing zones and paired Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) around the island, and then used participatory surveys to quantify fishermen observation of changes in parrotfish size since they started fishing. Both field data and participatory survey data show a decrease in parrotfish size since the establishment of MPAs. Island-wide, parrotfish also appear to be smaller in fished sites than in MPAs. Results suggest that the joint effect of zoning, catch-size enforcements and increased fishing pressure have caused a size-selection of parrotfish in the fishing zones of studied lagoons. These findings highlight the vulnerability of Mo’orea’s coral reef ecosystem to transitions in marine management strategy and size-selective fishing.

Damage to coral reef ecosystems due to environmentally unfriendly fishing activities (Wardani, 2018). The number of lifeform types ranged from 8-12, while the number of fish species obtained was 37-44 species. The suitability class category based on the results of the analysis at the three stations obtained the appropriate category (S2), with a percentage of the IKW value of 50-67% (Yulianda, 2018). Then, area carrying capacity (DDK) in the diving tourism category is an average of 528 people / day from the three stations. Management and development of marine tourism can be done by determining the zone of utilization and rehabilitation of coral reef ecosystems, as well as limiting visitors for certain periods to reduce the potential impact of environmental degradation.

Coral reefs are ecosystems with high productivity while being very vulnerable to environmental changes. The oil spill incident in Balikpapan Bay in 2018 still caused damage to the coral reef ecosystem in Tanjung Jumlai, Penajam Paser Utara Regency, East Kalimantan due to the use of dispersants in handling oil spills. Research on the condition of coral reefs is carried out to ensure the sustainability of the benefits of ecosystem products and services provided by coral reef ecosystems to communities around Balikpapan Bay. Coral reef research has been carried out at three transect station locations in the Tanjung Jumlai reef area. This research is aimed to determine the distribution, abundance, and structure of coral reef ecosystems in these waters. The study was conducted in October 2019. Data collection was carried out using the Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method. The results showed that the average percentage of coral cover was 55.7% with a good coral cover category. Substrate covering the bottom of the coral reef ecosystem is dominated by Acropora Tubulate and Acropora Branching from the biotic component, and Dead Coral with Algae and Rubble from the abiotic component. Diversity index value (H') in the waters is categorized as low species richness. This research has been identified only 10 genera in the study area where 9 genera are hard coral species. Similarity Index value (E) included in the medium category and dominance index value (D) belong to the medium category which means that there are no species that are very dominant in the observation area. Water quality at station 1 representing all observation stations shows results that the study area are still appropriate for marine biota according to Minister of Environment Decree 51/2004, except for nitrate content. Sediments also show no trace of hydrocarbons.Coral reefs are ecosystems with high productivity while being very vulnerable to environmental changes.
