The research was conducted from April to June 2017, at Laikang Bay of Takalar District. This research was conducted in several stages, preparation, location determination and data retrieval. This research was conducted in several stages namely, preparation, location determination and data retrieval. Baronang fish data were taken using fishing gear and catch information from fisherman while coral and seagrass ecosystem data using Line Intersect Transect and Underwater Visual Census, while for data analysis using diversity index. Based on the results of the research, there were 8 species of 350 (335) baronang family (Siganidae), with the highest species composition found in Siganus guttatus species of 60.31% with 193 species and the lowest was Siganus puellus 0.31% with 1 species. In the seagrass ecosystems Baronang family fish (Siganidae) found two species of Siganus canaliculatus (44%) and Siganus guttatus (56%). In the ecosystem fusion found 6 species of baronang fish with type composition ranged from (0,4% -70.7%. %). In the coral reef ecosystem found 5 species of baronang fish with the type composition ranged from 2.8% -61.1%. Keywords : Family Siganidae, Ecosystem, Laikkang Bay i ABSTRAK MUHAMMAD ILHAM.

Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sebaran dan komposisi jenis ikan Family Siganidae yang tertangkap pada ekosistem terumbu karang, padang lamun dan perpaduan antara terumbu karang dan padang lamun. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan April sampai Juni 2017, di Teluk Laikang Kabupaten Takalar. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam beberapa tahap yakni, persiapan, penentuan lokasi dan pengambilan data. Data ikan Baronang diambil menggunakan alat tangkap bubu dan informasi hasil tangkapan dari nelayan sedangkan data ekosistem karang dan lamun menggunakan Line Intersect Transect dan Underwater Visual Sensus, sedangkan untuk analisis data menggunakan indeks keragaman. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan 8 jenis ikan baronang family (Siganidae) sebanyak 320 ekor, dengan komposisi jenis tertinggi ditemukan pada spesies Siganus guttatus sebesar 60,31% dengan jumlah 193 ekor dan terendah adalah spesies Siganus puellus sebesar 0,31 % dengan jumlah 1 ekor. Di ekosistem padang lamun Ikan baronang ditemukan dua spesies yakni Siganus canaliculatus (44%) dan Siganus guttatus (56%). Di ekosistem perpaduan ikan, ditemukan 6 spesies ikan baronang dengan komposisi jenis berkisar (0,4%-70,7%. %).

    Spatial distributions, feeding ecologies, and behavioral interactions of four rabbitfish species (Siganus unimaculatus, S. virgatus, S. corallinus, and S. puellus) Atsushi Nanami Research Center for Sub-tropical Fisheries, Seikai National Fisheries Research Institute, Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency, Ishigaki, Okinawa, Japan ABSTRACT Clarifying the underlying mechanisms that enable closely related species to coexist in a particular environment is a fundamental aspect of ecology. Coral reefs support a high diversity of marine organisms, among which rabbitfishes (family Siganidae) are a major component The present study aimed to reveal the mechanism that allows rabbitfishes to coexist on coral reefs in Okinawa, Japan, by investigating the spatial distributions, feeding ecologies, and behavioral interactions of four species: Siganus unimaculatus, S. virgatus, S. corallinus, and S. puellus. All four species had a size-specific spatial distribution, whereby small individuals were found in sheltered areas that were covered by branching and bottlebrush Acropora spp. and large individuals were found in both sheltered and exposed rocky areas. However, no clear species-specific spatial distribution was observed. There was some variation in the food items taken, with S. unimaculatus primarily feeding on brown foliose algae, red foliose algae, and red styloid algae, and S. virgatus and S. puellus preferring brown foliose algae and sponges, respectively. However, S. corallinus did not show any clear differences in food preferences from S. virgatus or S. unimaculatus, mainly feeding on brown foliose algae and red styloid algae. The four species exhibited differences in foraging substrate use, which was probably related to differences in their body shape characteristics: Submitted 7 August 2018 S.

Review known spawning areas for pelagic and invertebrate species, with the aim of evaluating these sites as candidate spawning refugia. 2. Evaluate each of the project’s habitat demonstration sites as potential juvenile/pre-recruit refugia for significant demersal species. Rationale for the Two-Track Approach to the Identification of Fisheries Refugia The two main life history events for fished species are reproduction and recruitment. It was noted by the RSTC that both of these events involve movement between areas, and some species, often pelagic fishes, migrate to particular spawning areas. It was also noted that many species also utilise specific coastal habitats such as coral reefs, seagrass, and mangroves as nursery areas. In terms of the effects of fishing, most populations of fished species are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of high levels of fishing effort in areas and at times where there are high abundances of (a) stock in spawning condition, (b) juveniles and pre-recruits, or (c) pre-recruits migrating to fishing grounds.

Corallivore became one of the biotic components that relate with coral coverage. The objective of this study was to determine the trophic structure of reef fishes, as well as the relationship between corallivores and hard corals in the northern part of Kepulauan Seribu. Reef fish species and benthic coverage were assessed using underwater visual census (UVCs) and Line Intercept Transect (LIT). The results showed that there were 120 reef fish species belonging to 7 trophic groups and 19 families. Pomacentridae and Labridae are the most abundant fish families.

Juli 2015 Summary One of the primary challenges in ecology is to understand how environmental disturbance affects diversity and community structure, and what are the subsequent consequences on ecosystem functioning. Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet resulting in complex sets of interactions between benthic, habitat-forming constituents and mobile fish consumers. However, scleractinian corals, the primary habitat engineers, are dependent on high-light, low- nutrient water conditions and thus are highly responsive when the environment varies from this status. In Southeast Asia, an increase in human coastal populations centred around urban areas has resulted in extensive changes to the coastal environment such as degraded water quality and removal of fish consumers. This has resulted in highly varied abiotic and biotic conditions in relation with distance from the shore. Often, coral reefs closer to shore are much lower in benthic and fish diversity than those further from anthropogenic influences, with direct impacts on ecosystem functioning.

POCSIDIO* Natural Sciences Research Institute College ofScience, University of the Philippines Diliman I /0/ Quezon City ABSTRACT Extraction and bioassay for polar lipid toxins in Siganus spinus (Linnaeus), implicated in a human poisoning case in La Union, and other members of Family Siganidae namely S. canaliculatus (Mungo Park), S. l'irgatus (Cuvicr & Valenciennes), S. guttatus (Bloch), and S. punctatissimus Fowler & Bean from several locales found toxins in the fish viscera that could amount to 10 MU/IOOg. One Mouse Unit (MU) was defined as the amount of toxin that can kill a 20g mouse within 24 hours. Histopathological analysis in experimental mice revealed damages in the ventricular myocardium and other tissues which could be caused by maitotoxin most possibly present in the extracts. Kymograms of frog neuromuscular and heart activity suggested both ciguatoxin-like and maitotoxin-like effects. The gut contents of Siganid fish as well as the La Union reef included algae which are known preferred substrates of ciguateric poison-elaborating dinonagellates. Key Words: Ciguatera, ciguatoxin, maitotoxin, ichthyosarcotoxism, Siganidae, rabbitfish, fish poisoning, neurotoxin, cardioactive toxin, ion channel activator INTRODUCTION Ciguatera is a human illness chiefly characterized by gastrointestinal, neurological, and cardiovascular disorders that may result from the ingestion of seafood. Originally, the term ciguatera referred to poisoning caused by "cigua", the Caribbean marine snail Livona pica, but is now applied to the similar disorders following the intake of various normally edible fishes.
