Tingkat Keberhasilan Penetasan Telur Penyu Hijau (Chelonia Mydas, Linnaeus 1758) di Pantai Sebubus, Kabupaten Sambas
Abstract: A succeed hatchery
of green turtle’s eggs is determined by the condition of the environment and
the position of the nests. The purposes of this research are to find out the
succeed hatchery level of green turtle and the environmental condition of the
nest in Sebubus coastal area. The sample of the nest was randomly
selected and taken based on the existing nest proportion. There were three
parameters, namely hatchability, physical characters of the
coast and environmental
conditions surrounding the nest.
There were 24
nests in Sungai Belacan
coast, 21 in
Munggu Resak and
three nests in
Tanjung Kemuning. The
number of eggs
range between 85 – 102 eggs per
nest. The percentage of green turtle’s hatchery in Sebubus coast were
variedfrom 87.69% - 93.13%. 75% of the nests were found under pandanus
tree. The shaded nests showed a higher hatchery
percentage of 86.64%
- 95.6%. The
slope of Sebubus
coast was ranged
from 40– 4.820. Temperature of nest incubation
was varied from 28.180C to
28.370C. Green turtles dominantly
made their nest in sandy substrate. The pH level of the observed nests
was categorized as not too acidic ranging from 5.74 to 6.16. The
overall environmental
condition in Sebubus coastal area supports
the hatchery of
green turtle’s eggs.
