Abstract

Samboja beach is one of the coastal areas in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, which has various fisheries and marine resources such as macrozoobenthos. One of the ecological functions of macrozoobenthos is that it is a biological bioindicator in the waters and transfers energy in the food chain. This study aims to determine the type and abundance of macrozoobenthos, sediment texture type, organic carbon, nitrate and phosphate content, sediment type and abundance of macrozoobenthos at Tanah Merah Beach Samboja. Sediment samples were taken at the surface (0-10 cm) by placing quadrant plots on a 120 m long transect line (50x50 cm²). 50 macrozoobenthos species were found, consisting of Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Schapopoda. Macrozoobenthos abundance ranged from 60 to 268 ind/m2. Sequential ecological indices of diversity included the medium category with high uniformity and low dominance. The sediment texture at points near the coast was sandy loam while towards the sea textured sand. Sediment content in organic carbon ranged from 0.41% to 1.18% (very low), nitrate between 6.63 and 16.69 mg/L (high) and phosphate from 29.01 to 71.27 mg/L (high). There was a positive relationship with a moderate correlation between organic carbon and macrozoobenthos abundance. The relationship between nitrate and macrozoobenthos abundance was a low correlation. In contrast, a positive correlation was found between phosphate and macrozoobenthos abundance. Water quality is still normal and supports the survival of macrozoobenthos.

Abstract

Tanah Merah Beach is a coastal area of Samboja in East Kalimantan, which is a local tourist destination. The association of coastal ecosystems can be shown by macrozoobenthos, as one of the biota components in coastal areas to mangroves. This study identifies the species, calculates the abundance, and analyses the ecological index of macrozoobenthos, as well as looking at the relationship between nutrients and sediment texture with the number of macrozoobenthos found. The purpose of this research is to determine the condition of nutrients in the sediment substrate to its abundance in the mangrove ecosystem area. Sampling was conducted at three points based on the percentage of mangrove canopy cover in the Monmang version 2.0 application, with each point represented by 3 quadrant points measuring 0.25 m2. The results showed that the percentage of mangrove canopy cover was categorised as slight-moderate, the abundance of individuals was dominated by the Gastropoda class with 9 species and a small proportion of the Bivalve class. The ecological indices in order are the Diversity Index (H') in the low category, Diversity (E) in the low category, and dominance (C) found Cerithidae sp species dominating each point. The highest abundance was found at radius 2 canopy cover 77.24 - 83.13%. Nutrient content in sediment, nitrate (1.00-16.25 mg/L), phosphate (29.01-83.94 mg/L), organic carbon (2.23-3.24%) with confirmed sediment texture of sandy loam. Nitrate content ranged from 1.00-16.25 mg/L, Phosphate 34.65 - 44.51 mg/L and Organic carbon 2.23-3.24% (per mg) in the sediment and a significant effect of phosphate content on Macrozoobenthos abundance was found in the correlation test results.
