ABSTRAKUndur-undur laut atau mole crab merupakan komponen penting dari komunitas makrobentos di pantaiberpasir terbuka, baik di daerah tropis maupun bermusim empat di seluruh dunia.Undur-undur lautmempunyai fungsi ekonomi dan ekologi.Salah satu jenis undur-undur laut yang banyak dijumpai diIndonesia adalah jenis Hippa adactyla.Karena fungsi ekonomi dan ekologi undur-undur laut pentinguntuk dilestarikan, salah satu informasi penting yang dibutuhkan adalah pola pertumbuhan undurundurlaut.Penelitian dilakukan di Pantai Bocor, Kecamatan Buluspesantren, KabupatenKebumen.Pengambilan sampel undur-undur laut dilakukan setiap bulan dari bulan Maret hingga Mei2012, yang dilakukan dengan metode penyapuan dengan bantuan alat tangkap sorok pada daerahpantai berpasir yang terpengaruh gerakan gelombang (swash zone) (swept area method).Hasilpenelitian menunjukkan bahwa undur-undur laut Hippa adactyla yang tertangkap mempunyai kisaranpanjang karapas antara 15 mm hingga 40 mm, dengan ukuran yang paling banyak tertangkap beradapada selang panjang karapas 24-26 mm.Nisbah kelamin undur-undur laut di lokasi penelitianmendekati 1 (1,035) atau tergolong seimbang, dimana jumlah undur-undur laut jantan relatif seragamdengan undur-undur laut betina.Kondisi ini juga menunjukkan bahwa kondisi populasi undur-undurlaut di lokasi penelitian relatif stabil. Pola pertumbuhan undur-undur laut Hippa adactylaseluruhnya,baik jantan, betina, maupun gabungan, adalah isometrik, artinya pertambahan panjang undur-undurlaut relatifsama dengan pertambahan bobotnya.Kata kunci: Hippa adactyla, pantai berpasir, undur-undur lautABSTRACTMole crabs are one of important biological component among macrobenthos communityinhabiting sandy beach, both in tropic or temperate area all over the world. They playsignificant ecology and economy role in their habitat. One of Indonesian mole crabs is Hippaadactyla. Due to its ecological and economical function of the crab, it is neede to study thepopulation growth pattern for biological information based sustainable management. One ofimportant biological information is growth pattern. The research was conducted in PantaiBocor, Kecamatan Buluspesantren, Kabupaten Kebumen. Sample collections were donemonthly during March – May 2012. Sampling was done by swep area method by means oflocal fishermen gear called sorok along swash zone. The results showed that the carapacelength of collected crabs ranged from 19 – 34 mm, with the highest abundance within range of29 – 30 mm. Female dominated the sex ratio. The F/M ratio was 0.244. The growth pattern ofmale was isometric, while in female it was negative allometric. However, combining datashowed that the growth patern of the population was negative allometric, so its length growsfaster than its weight.Keywords: Hippa adactyla, sandy beach, mole crab, southern part of Jawa

AbstractHigh quality laboratory measurements of nearshore waves and morphology change at, or near prototype-scale are essential to support new understanding of coastal processes and enable the development and validation of predictive models. The DynaRev experiment was completed at the GWK large wave flume over 8 weeks during 2017 to investigate the response of a sandy beach to water level rise and varying wave conditions with and without a dynamic cobble berm revetment, as well as the resilience of the revetment itself. A large array of instrumentation was used throughout the experiment to capture: (1) wave transformation from intermediate water depths to the runup limit at high spatio-temporal resolution, (2) beach profile change including wave-by-wave changes in the swash zone, (3) detailed hydro and morphodynamic measurements around a developing and a translating sandbar.

ABSTRACTA “feet digging” method for sampling the sandy beach bivalve Donax deltoides was evaluated by comparison to quadrat-based results from eleven beaches in subtropical eastern Australia. The method was developed from a recreational fishing technique that involves twisting one’s feet into the thixotropic sand to dislodge buried clams which are then recovered by hand. Several plots are sampled across the swash zone in one five-minute sampling unit and the process is replicated at several locations along the beach. Mean feet digging clam counts were proportional to mean transect linear clam densities (r = 0.98). Clam length-frequency distributions from feet digging were similar to those from quadrat sampling except that feet digging was not effective for clams < 16 mm. Feet digging counts are sensitive to both across shore (tidal) and alongshore variation in clam abundance and were less precise than those from quadrat-based methods (CV 1.2× larger). However, feet digging is fast and the method should be useful for low cost surveys of Donax deltoides and similar “surf clams”.

Three species of hippoid crabs are the target species of intertidal fishery along coastal line in District Cilacap, south Java; namely Emerita emeritus, Hippa adactyla and Albunea symmista. In Adipala sandy beach, Cilacap  an experiment was conducted to reveal the burrowing time and velocity of the crabs. The experiment was performed by removing the crabs from their burrows, measuring their carapace length, and releasing them immediately on the substrate. Burrowing time was measured from the start of burrowing to the disappearance of the entire carapace under the sediment surface. Among the three species, E. emeritus had the fastest burrowing time. As a consequence in terms of velocity, the burrowing velocity of Albunea symmista was higher than that of Hippa adactyla and Emerita emeritus; meaning that with the same size A. symmista needs longer time to burrow. By evaluating with other previous studies, the burrowing time and burrowing velocity of the three sand crabs were comparable. The ability of fast burrowing in the three species seems likely to be the advantage for their survival in large wave disturbed coarse sandy habitat and for their ability to widely exist along the sandy coast of south Java.
