Abstract This study evaluated the spatial and temporal distribution and density of the bivalve Donax striatus, at beaches close to the Apodi/Mossoró River estuary, through, six semiannual sampling campaigns were performed between April/2009 and October/2011. The sampled area was delimited by 20 transects that were laid perpendicular to the beach line and extended over 300 m in the intertidal zone. Seven sampling points were established in each transect, organisms and sediment were collected, and water temperature and salinity were recorded. The highest D. striatus average density (103 individuals.m–2) was observed in April/2009 and the lowest (18 individuals.m–2) in October/2010. The highest D. striatus densities occurred in beaches further from the estuarine region as demonstrated by a significant positive correlation (r2 = 0.67 and p = 0.0007). The D. striatus densities presented significant negative correlations with the percentages of organic matter in the water. This species demonstrated an aggregated distribution in the studied area.

Pantai Indrayanti merupakan salah satu pantai berbatu yang ada di kabupaten Gunungkidul. Pantai Indrayanti memiliki biodiversitas flora dan fauna yang cukup tinggi, hal ini dilihat dari banyaknya makhluk hidup khas pantai berbatu yang menghuni wilayah ini. Kebanyakan Echinodermata ditemukan pada tempat-tempat tertentu atau mempunyai zonasi. Hal tersebut diduga berhubungan dengan vegetasi atau rumput laut yang telah tumbuh di daerah tersebut. Adanya pasang surut yang jelas juga diduga menjadi penyebab lain terjadinya zonasi tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab pertanyaan bagaimana zonasi Echinodermata pada zona intertidal di Pantai Indrayanti. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Maret 2017 di kawasan perairan Pantai Indrayanti. Lokasi penelitian sendiri berada di Pantai Indrayanti yang kemudian dibagi menjadi tiga stasiun antara lain stasiun 1 sebagai daerah dengan tipe habitat karang mati , stasiun 2 sebagai daerah dengan tipe habitat pecahan karang dan pasir kemudian stasiun 3 sebagai daerah dengan tipe habitat karang mati, lamun dan pasir. Masing-masing stasiun yang telah dipilih kemudian dibagi menjadi tiga titik sampling yang nantinya digunakan sebagai titik pengambilan sampel. Pada lokasi penelitian di temukan sebanyak 2 jenis Echinodermata yaitu bulu babi dan bintang mengular. Spesies bulu babi yang ditemukan ada 3 jenis yaitu Stomopneustes sp, Echinometra sp, dan Echinometra mathaei. Spesies bintang mengular yang ditemukan ada 2 jenis yaitu Ophiocoma erinaceus dan Ophiocoma scolopendrina. Stasiun 1 dan 2 dengan daerah tipe habitat karang mati dan pecahan kerang beserta pasir paling banyak ditemukan Echinodermata dibandingkan dengan stasiun 3 dengan tipe habitat pecahan karang mati, lamun, dan pasir. Indrayanti Beach is one of the rocky beaches in Gunungkidul district. Indrayanti beach has a biodiversity of flora and fauna is quite high, it is seen from the number of living creatures typical of rocky beaches that inhabit this region. Most Echinoderms are found in certain places or have zoning. It is thought to be related to vegetation or seaweed that has grown in the area. The presence of a clear tidal is also suspected to be another cause of the occurrence of the zonation. This study aims to answer the question of how the zonation of Echinodermata in the intertidal zone at Indrayanti Beach. The research was conducted in March 2017 in Indrayanti Beach waters area. The research location itself is located at Indrayanti Beach which is then divided into three stations such as station 1 as area with dead coral habitat type, station 2 as area with habitat type of broken coral and sand then station 3 as area with dead coral habitat type, seagrass and sand . Each selected station is then divided into three sampling points which will be used as sampling points. At the location of the study found as many as two types of echinoderms, which are sea urchins and snake stars. Species of pigs found there are 3 types of Stomopneustes sp, Echinometra sp, and Echinometra mathaei. Infectious star species found there are 2 types of Ophiocoma erinaceus and Ophiocoma scolopendrina. Station 1 and 2 with dead coral habitat type and shell fragment with sand found most Echinodermata compared with station 3 with habitat type of dead corals, seagrass, and sand.

AbstractRecruitment of the limpet Patella ulyssiponensis was investigated in relation to the presence of living crustose coralline algae (CCA) in rocky-shore habitats. Juvenile limpets (≤10 mm maximum shell length) were counted in CCA-present and CCA-absent habitats, on three shores in SW Portugal during summer 2007 and winter 2009. Furthermore, the settling response of laboratory-reared larvae of P. ulyssiponensis to CCA-covered substratum, and bare-rock, was examined. Across the intertidal zone, we found a clear association between the distribution and abundance of juveniles and the presence of CCA. Although the presence of CCA was not an absolute requisite for juvenile occurrence, null juvenile densities were mostly recorded in CCA-absent areas. The highest juvenile densities (maximum of 64 individuals in 15 × 15 cm) were consistently found in CCA-dominated habitats, namely steep wave-exposed areas at low-shore and rock-pools. The hypothesis of CCA-enhanced settlement was not supported, as settlement intensities of laboratory-reared larvae were similar between chips of rock encrusted by CCA and chips of bare-rock. From the overall number of settlers onto CCA-encrusted rock chips, 51% were found in tiny pits lacking CCA. This was the first study of the settlement patterns of larvae of the genus Patella using naturally occurring rocky substrata. These results are preliminary and should be confirmed with choice-experiments and improved monitoring of the position of settlers. We suggest that CCA plays a role in the recruitment of P. ulyssiponensis, potentially promoting survivorship of early benthic stages, but possibly not enhancing settlement.

Ascidians are marine invertebrates that have been classified with the subphylum Urochordata (Tunicata). These organisms are very important because they contribute a lot to the stability of the marine ecosystem. This study aims to determine the species composition, density, ecological index (diversity, uniformity, dominance), distribution patterns, and substrate occupied by Ascidian. Data were collected at Mike’s Point Bunaken waters at two depths 7 m and 14 m. The method used a direct observation along the 50 m and 2 m width belt transect. In this study, the transect was applied parallel to the coastline at each depth, where 3 replications were performed. The results show  26 species consisting of 13 species at a depth of 7 m and 22 species at a depth of 14 m were identified. The average density of each species was  0.05 ind/m2 at both depths. Diversity Index of 1.76 at 7 m depth and 2.24 at 14 m depth was determined. Uniformity Index was 0.68 at 7 m depth and 0.73 at 14 m depth.

The present study was carried out to investigate the biomass of cockle (Anadara granosa) from coastal waters ofSouth Indragiri District, Riau Province. The biomass was investigated by quadrad sampling method in the intertidalarea along the Concong beach, where fishing of cockles mainly occured. The first station was near by the Concongestuary, while the second station was about 3 miles away from the fisrt one. Samples were collected from threedifferent portions of the intertidal zone that of High Intertidal Mid-Intertidal, and Low Intertidal. The result showedthat the highest biomass was found at the lower partion of the intertidal zone. Soft tissue of A. granosa was about24.8% of total wet-weight and 7.2 % of dry-weight. While material organic was about 85 % of soft tissue dry-weight.Water qualities of the sampling station showed that the overall water qualities were still in normal condition.
