COMPOSITION AND COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF COPEPOD IN KAKAP RIVER ESTUARY, KUBU RAYA DISTRICT WEST BORNEO

Abstract

The research of composition and community structure of copepods in Kakap river estuary, Kubu Raya District, West Borneo was conducted from October to December 2020. The purpose of this study is to determine the composition and the community structure of copepod in Kakap river estuary, Kubu Raya District, West Borneo. This study used a purposive sampling method at four stations. Copepod samples were taken using plankton net. During the research, the total number of copepods that have been identified from 4 stations are 11 species from 3 orders, 4 families and 8 genera. Copepoda that has been obtained has the composition, namly Cyclopoids 5 species, Harpacticoida 3 species, Calanoida 2 species. The copepod density in Kakap river estuary ranged from 7,9-103,3 Ind / l, the diversity index (H ') ranged from 0 to 1.9, the evenness index (E) ranged from 0 - 0,9 and the dominance index (C) ranged from 0,2 - 1. The result of copepod density correlation analysis is that negatively correlated with -1,000 current parameter and positively correlated with the DO parameter, which is 0,800.
