KEANEKARAGAMAN DAN KEPADATAN GASTROPODA DI PERAIRAN DESA MORINDINO KECAMATAN KAMBOWA KABUPATEN BUTON UTARA
ABSTRACT: Gastropods have
important economic value because the shell can be used for a variety of
decorations are expensive and the meat as a source of food. Gastropods also a
key organism in the food chain in aquatic ecosystems. This research aims to
determine the diversity and density of gastropods and environmental conditions
that affect gastropods. The usefulness of the research is as information for
the relevant agencies and parties that need as well as information for further
research. The research was conducted in morindino village waters from August to
October 2014. The placement transect squared/plots based on the state of the
substrate is sandy and rocky beaches. The results found 20 species of
gastropods which belong to 17 genera in 16 families. Density on the rocky shore
organisms higher than the sandy beach that is 29.11 ind/m2 while the sandy
beach that is 1.44 ind/m2. Rocky shore species diversity in higher at 1.8742
while the lower sandy beach which is 1.5858. However overall, the diversity of
marine gastropods in Morindino village water was included in the medium
category. Water velocity Parameter affects the density and diversity of
gastropods.
