Studi Kualitas Perairan Danau Sentani Menggunakan Bioindikator Makrobentos
ABSTRACT: Study on the
water quality of Sentani Lake has been carried out during
October–November 2012 at 3 stations of observation. Observation
and retrieval of
macrobenthos have been
done by using
combination between line transect method and square plot. While
for physical and chemical characteristics of water is measured in site and at laboratory. Index of variance
Shannon-Wiener, Evenness and Density as well as Pollution Index were used to analyse the
physical and chemical characteristics
of water. Result of this study showed that Telaga Maya area (station
3) has the highest variation of macrobenthos with H’ value= 2.12 while the
lowest variation (H’= 1.66) was found
around Ekspo River
(station 2). Based
on population density
of macrobenthos, Pilsbryoconcha exilis which collected in
the area of
Jembatan Dua River
(station 1) was
found as the
highest population with
density 9.26 ind/m2, while
the lowest population
density was Melanoides
tuberculata with density
0.93 ind/m2. It
can be concluded that based
on the
value of variance index and Pollution Index, the water quality of Sentani Lake belong to
low-medium polluted category.
