Abstract

Gastropods are the most common species in shallow water. These gastropods are easily found in areas where sunlight, which plays a role in algal growth and affects humidity in mangrove areas, saltwater tides, salinity, and substrate type can all affect gastropod dispersal. The lack of documented information on gastropod diversity and morphology in mangrove areas makes it difficult to assess the structural health of mangrove gastropod communities from Sibuti mangroves. This, study was conducted to identify gastropod species in the Sibuti mangrove area and to identify the diversity and morphometric diversity in different section in the Sibuti mangrove. Quadrat and transect methods were used in this study to obtain samples of pore water, river water, and gastropods. morphometric analysis was used to determine the morphological measurements of gastropod shells. There are 8 species of 4 families and 5 genera found and station 2 recorded high diversity. station 1 has the highest value of uniformity and richness compared to stations 2 and 3 and Cerithidea charbonnieri has the most abundant individuals of 73 ind/10m2. While the morphometric shows that the Littorinidae family has little significant difference compared to other families. The Potamididae family shows that Cerithidea charbonnieri has the greatest height compared to Cerithidea quoyii and Neripteron violaceum has many high measurements compared to the two species of the family. Thus, the Sibuti mangrove forest needs to be preserved to maintain the diversity of gastropods to support the ecosystem in the mangrove area.
