Abstract
The observation of phytoplankton and zooplankton in Karang Lebar Lagoon during solar eclipse periods was held in order to understand the existence of the community in this special and unusual phenomenon of nature. There were 13 temporally sampling to take plankton and water quality samples, one day before (twice), during (eight times), and one day after the eclipse (three times). The results show that the number of taxa and abundance of plankton during solar eclipse for both phytoplankton and zooplankton were lower than the daylight normal condition. Furthermore, the highest value of Shannon diversity and Evenness index, and also the succession rate of phytoplankton species were reached just after the solar eclipse over. Most of this pattern was followed by zooplankton species at the next sampling periods. As a whole, there were different excistence pattern of plankton performes between solar eclipse period and normal condition.
