Many industries in Sedati have caused a decrease in the aquatic productivity and aquatic organism conditions, including gastropods. Gastropods are easy to find in various habitats, but their distribution is highly dependent on the habitat conditions such as physical, chemical and biological factors. Gastropods are sensitive to environmental changes and can withstand the environmental changes that are not too wide to be used as indicators of environmental pollu- tion. This study aims to determine the structure of the gastropod community in the Sedati Waters. The research was performed using an observation method. The gastropod samples were taken using a dredge net, while the substrate samples were collected using Ekman grab. The gastropods found in Sedati Waters from October to December are nine species from 2 orders and six families. The species most commonly found in R. venosa, while the least is C. ventricosa. The abundance index of gastropods every month shows a marked difference between stations but not the other main parameters. The diversity index value was between 1.4846–2.0897. The evenness index value reached between 0.8284 and 0.9548. The dominance index ranged from 0.16 to 0.2299. The community structure of gastropods in the Sedati Waters, Sidoarjo, East Java shows a significant difference (p<0.05) between stations and belongs to the medium category.
