| Summary: | Apart from being used as a tourist attraction, there is also an input of domestic waste
along the Citumang River. Hence, this river requires water quality monitoring. One of
the parameters commonly used is macrozoobenthos. An analysis was carried out
regarding the organic matter content of sediment, the distribution of sediment particles,
and the abundance of macrozoobenthos. This research aims to determine the
relationship between sediment and the abundance of macrozoobenthos. The results of
sediment texture analysis at point SP 1 are dominated by gravel, SP 2, 3, and 5 are
dominated by sand, and at points SP 4 and 5 the distribution of particles is quite even.
The results of the highest organic matter content in sediment were found at point SP 4,
and the highest abundance of macrozoobenthos was also found at point SP 4. After
carrying out a correlation test, the results showed that macrozoobenthos diversity was
strongly negatively correlated with the parameters of total organic carbon and total
nitrogen. On the other hand, macrozoobenthos abundance was strongly positively
correlated with total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and percentage of silt and clay.
Furthermore, macrozoobenthos diversity is very strongly positively correlated with
phosphate. |
