Mollusks Diversity in the Protected Coastline of Berbak-sembilang National Park Indonesia
Summary
Researchers assessed mollusk diversity and its correlation with water quality parameters in the protected coastline of Berbak-Sembilang National Park, Indonesia, using sampling, diversity analysis, and principal component correlation methods. The study aimed to document potential declines in mollusk diversity driven by water quality fluctuations that could threaten benthic ecosystem food webs.
Mollusk has a role as a food source in benthic ecosystems. Presumably, there has been a decrease in its diversity on the protected coastline of Berbak-Sembilang National Park (BSNP) due to fluctuations in water quality parameters that threaten the sustainability of another biota in the web food system. The purpose of this study was to describe the diversity of mollusks and their correlation with water quality in the protected coastline area. The research methodology was carried out, namely: water quality data collection, mollusk sampling, diversity analysis, and correlation analysis. Principal component analysis and similarity analysis were used. The results showed that there were 28 species of mollusks, which were classified into two classes: Bivalvia (79%), and Gatropoda (49%), with 21 species. The mollusk abundance means 263.25 ind.m-2, and the diversity is categorized as low H'1 except stations 2 and 4. It is supported by the dominant species, namely Anadara granosa (36.61%), and Nutricola sp. (35.47%. There are two clusters of mollusks: open coastal areas are characterized by higher temperatures, nutrients, salinity, pH, currents, and brightness, and estuary clusters are characterized by higher dissolved oxygen and mollusk abundance.

Species diversity of seagrass-associated bivalves as an ecological parameter to support seagrass conservation along with the Coastal Waters of South Lombok, Indonesia
Researchers studied the diversity of bivalve species associated with seagrass beds along the coast of South Lombok, Indonesia, finding that healthier seagrass beds supported greater bivalve diversity. Seagrass ecosystems are important for filtering microplastics from coastal waters, though this paper focuses on biodiversity rather than pollution. The findings support the conservation of coastal seagrass habitats.
