KARAKTERISTIK HABITAT DAN POTENSI KEPITING BAKAU (Scylla serrata, S.transquaberica, and S.olivacea) DI HUTAN MANGROVE CIBAKO, SANCANG, KABUPATEN GARUT JAWA BARAT
Ringkasan: The research aimed
to collect data and information about the habitat characteristics and mud crabs
potency in Cibako mangrove forest. Sampling was con-ducted through line plot
transect survey. Parameters examined physical-chemical characteristic, mangrove
vegetation, mud crabs population and size distribution. Habitat characteristics
were collected cluster analisys. The result showed that some parameters of
habitat were resemblance where stations 1 and 2 were Groups A, stations 3 and 4
were groups B , and station 5 and 6 were groups C. The mud crabs popula-tions,
size distribution, and habitat groups were analyzed correspondence analysis. S.serrata
dominate in zone A in dark to-taled 67 ind. individual existence S.serrata allegedly
tolerant of high salinity > 28 0/00 and macrozoobenthos abundance of mangrove
crabs as a food source. S.tanquaberica dominate in zone B in the dark was 70
ind. The presence of individual species in zo-ne B allegedly tolerant of
salinity 24 -> 28 0/00, natural food abundance and habitat suitability as a
mud substrate. S.olivacea dominate in the zone C in the dark totaled 38. The
presence of individual species in zone C allegedly due to low salinity tolerant
in the range of 21-22 0/00 and can live on clay substrate.
