Struktur Komunitas Kepiting Intertidal pada Mangrove yang Terdegradasi di Segara Anakan Cilacap
Abstrak: Makrobenthos
intertidal crabs were found living in the sediment and its presence greatly
affect the primary productivity in the mangrove ecosystem of Segara Anakan
Cilacap. This mangrove area is the largest in the island of Java. Human activities have caused a lot of
pressure. The objective of this study is 1) to determine the structure of the
different intertidal crab communities on degraded mangrove; 2) to know the
different sediment texture on degraded mangrove in Segara Anakan Cilacap. This
research was carried in two mangrove areas based on mangrove canopy cover
percentage namely 80% and 30% canopy cover.
The research method for crab community structure was survey conducted by
cluster sampling method from January-March 2013. The structure of the
intertidal crab of different communities in normal mangrove areas and damaged
mangroves. In the normal mangrove area, the number of species found in normal
intertidal crab included 15 species consisting of 592 individual, while in the
damaged mangrove area there were 14 species consisting of 845 individual. The
normal mangrove area has clayey silt sediment texture, while the damaged
mangrove area has the sand sediment texture of silt clay.
