Davis1 1 Current Address: AAA196, Box 10001, Saipan, MP 96950, CNMI This list is dedicated to my children, Forrest LeRoy Eugene Davis, Timothy Davis, and Thomas Gotthelf Fischer Davis, Tian Taky Davis, and Dianne Eclipse Davis and to all other little boys and girls in Chuuk whose mothers and fathers do not understand one another very well. Revised from a technical report printed by the College of Mi- cronesia and the Micronesian Language Institute (UOG). °c 1996, 1999 Alan Eugene Davis °c 1996, 1999 College of Micronesia, Chuuk °c 1996, 1999 Micronesian Language Institute, University of Guam This document may be freely copied, on the condition that a copy of this notice is provided or else, for excerpts, that full acknowledgement is given of this source. Abstract—This is an unfinished list of animal names, including many unverified names, from dialects / languages commonly heard in Chuuk Lagoon, the Mortlock Islands, Hall Islands, Western Islands (Pattiw) and Nominweit´e,constituting the Eastern end of a chain of related dialects and cultures extending from Sonsorol and Tobi to Chuuk Lagoon. This list may emphasize a relatively small number of dialects; names are listed, however, from throughout the district. Animal names are ordered phylogenetically, divided into chapters according to broad classification. Chapters on sponges, coelenterates, worms, molluscs, crus- taceans, and insects and allies are divided into sections by category. Fishes are the subject of one large chapter, divided into sections by family.

The aim of this study is to determine the species occurrences of coral reef fish at Pulau Bidong, which is in the South China Sea off the east coast state of Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia. Fish surveys were conducted from May to July 2018 using the visual census technique during SCUBA dives around the island. A total of 30 families, 61 genera and 101 species of coral reef fishes were identified. This indicates considerably high fish diversity and reflects the good condition of the reefs. Of the species identified, 65 % were reef-associated, 12 % were pelagic-oceanic and the rest (23 %) appeared to be found in both zones.

Di bawah bimbingan Sharifuddin Bin Andy Omar sebagai Pembimbing Utama dan Basse Siang Parawansa sebagai Pembimbing Anggota. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kelimpahan dan keanekaragaman ikan karang target pada setiap zona dan kedalaman di Pulau Kapoposang, Kabupaten Pangkajene Kepulauan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada bulan Januari-Maret 2018. Lokasi pengamatan terdiri atas tiga zona yaitu zona inti, zona pemanfaatan, dan zona perikanan berkelanjutan. Pada masing-masing zona dipasang transek garis sepanjang 50 m pada dua kedalaman yaitu 3 m dan 10 m dengan transisi 5 m di atas terumbu karang, sejajar garis pantai. Luas area pengamatan 250 Ha. Metode yang dilakukan yaitu UVC (Underwater Visual Census). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan 42 spesies, dari 16 genera dan 7 famili dengan total kelimpahan 428 ekor. Zona perikanan berkelanjutan memiliki kelimpahan ikan karang target tertinggi, yaitu sebanyak 126 ekor di kedalaman 3 m, dan terendah di zona inti, yaitu sebanyak 11 ekor di kedalaman 10 m. Nilai indeks keanekaragaman berkisar antara 2.4478 - 5.0370, nilai indeks keseragaman berkisar antara 0.4577 – 0.9112, dan nilai indeks dominansi berkisar antara 0.1239 - 0.5402. Secara umum, rendahnya nilai indeks dominansi serta tingginya nilai indeks keseragaman jenis menggambarkan bahwa ikan karang target di setiap zona saat pengamatan berada dalam kondisi yang cukup stabil.
