摘要:The different characteristics of subtrate might give influence on
species composition, abundance and diversity of seaweed. Kondang Merak
and Drini Beach are two beaches in Java Island which have different
subtrate characteristic. The aim of this study is to investigate seaweed
composition, abundance and diversity in Drini Beach and Kondang Merak
Beach. Survey method and quadrant transect sampling technique were
applied in this study. The result showed that 13 species of seaweed were
found at Drini Beach and 18 species of seaweed were found in Kondang
Merak Beach. The composition of the seaweed at Drini Beach and
Kondang Merak Beach were dominated by Rhodophyta (69% and 56%).
Enteromorpha flexuosa was the most abundant seaweed at Drini Beach,
while at Kondang Merak Beach was dominated by Chaetomorpha crassa.
The seaweed diversity index of Kondang Merak Beach (2,08) was higher
than Drini Beach (1,27). Physical and chemical parameters were
categorized as the optimal for the growth of the seaweed.
