| dc.description.abstract | Mangrove ecosystem is one among of the several ecosystems that found in
coastal areas. This mangrove in Lubuk Kertang Village is managed together by
citizen to fufill the needs of their community. The research aims are to know the
mangrove density, fish diversity, and the correlation of mangrove density to fish
diversity. Research done by using Purposive Samping method with two week
intervals for two months. Mangrove species that found at the research site consists
of 10 species of the Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora stylosa, Avicennia alba,
Avicennia lanata, Avicennia marina, Soneratia alba, Bruguiera sexangula,
Acanthus ilicifolius, Excoecaria agallocha,dan Scyphiphora hydrophyllaceae. The
kind of fish species that found in the research site consists of 16 species that
belonged to the 5 orders, 15 families, 15 genera that was Gymnothorax tile,
Epinephelus coioidae, Plotosus canius, Johnius trachycephalus, Valamugil engeli,
Scatophagus argus, Carangoides praeustus, Gerres filomentosus, Lutjanus
fulviflamma, Leiognathus equulus, Lutjanus johnii, Hemaloptera ocellata, Butis
amboinensis, Batrachomoeus trispinosus, Bodianus izuensis, and Pomadasys
argenteus. The diversity index is classified as moderate. Correlation coefficient
(R) of 0.876 indicates that there is a very strong relation between mangrove
density with fish diversity | en_US |
