Description
Summary:Poopoh beach is located on the northern coast of North Sulawesi has some ecosystems such as mangroves and sea-grass beds. The Coastal area of north Sulawesi itself has high diversity of invertebrate, including Echinodermata. This research aims to study the diversity, distribution, and abundance of Echinoids and Holothuroids in Poopoh beach, and its influencing factors. Sampling was conducted in April 2013 using transect quadrate method of 1 x 1 m 2 quadrat size in 4 stations. Free sampling method was also conducted to complement diversity data. In each quadrate plot, Echinoids and Holothuroids abundances were recorded, and its environment factor such as salinity, temperature, and pH were also taken. Ecological numeric character of density, frequency, important value index, and diversity index were calculated and analyzed. The results showed that at Poopoh beach was found 7 species of Echinoids and 9 species of Holothuroids. The Echinoids abundance was higher than Holothuroids abundance with the most dominating species of the Echinoids are Echinometra mathei and Diadema setosum. Two dominating species of Holothuroids are Holothuria atra and Holothuria hilla. The diversity indices of Echinoids and Holothuroids are 1.66 and 1.54. Salinity and pH are still in the range of tolerance for Echinoids and Holothuroids, except temperature. The diversity, distribution, and abundance of Echinoids and Holothuroids in Poopoh beach is influenced by microhabitat.
