Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara kelimpahan ikan famili Scaridae dengan tutupan terumbu karang hidup yang ada di pulau kapoposang. Pengambilan data dilakukan pada bulan November 2017. Lokasi pengamatan berada di pulau Kapoposang terdiri dari 2 stasiun dengan masing- masing 2 kedalaman yaitu kedalaman 3 meter dan kedalaman 10 meter. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengamatan ikan karang adalah UVC (Underwater Visual Census). Data tutupan karang hidup di menggunakan metode LIT (Line Intercept Tranec ). Spesies ikan karang di identifikasi dengan buku identifikasi ikan karang Kuiter dan Tonozuka (2001). Hubungan kelimpahan ikan karang dan tutupan terumbu karang hidup dianalisis dengan menggunakan bantuan Microsoft Excel. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ikan famili Scaridae didapatkan 17 spesies dengan total individu 0,848 ind/m2. Kelimpahan ikan karang tertinggi berada pada stasiun 2 kedalaman 10 meter sebesar 0,312ind/m2 sedangkan kelimpahan ikan terendah berada pada stasiun 1 kedalaman 10 meter sebesar 0,088 ind/m2. Sedangkan hasil penelitian, presentase tutupan karang hidup tertinggi berada pada stasiun 2 kedalaman 10 meter yaitu 71,2 % dan presentase tutupan karang hidup terendah berada pada stasiun 1 kedalaman 10 meter yaitu 3,36 %. Presentase tutupan karang hidup memiliki hubungan yang erat yaitu apabila tutupan terumbu karang hidup rendah maka kelimpahan ikan karang juga rendah dan apabila tutupan terumbu karang hidup tinggi maka kelimpahan ikan karang juga melimpah.

L211 13 009. “The Abundance of Family Scaridae Fish Based on Live Coral Cover at Kapoposang Island Waters District of Pangkajene dan Kepulauan” supervised by Syamsu Alam Ali and Suwarni This study aims to see the relationship between the fish’s abundance of family Scaridae with live coral cover in Kapoposang Island. Data collection was conducted in November 2017. The location of the observation was in Kapoposang Island consisting of 2 stations with each depth was 3 and 10 meters. The method which was used in observing reef fish is UVC ( Underwater Visual Census). Live coral cover data used the LIT (Line Intercept Transec) method. The reef fish species were identified by the identification book pf the reef fish which was written by Kuiter and Tonozuka (2001). The relation of abundance of coral fish and live coral cover was analyzed by Microsoft Excel was utilized in the process. Based on the resultsof research family Scaridae was obtained 17 species with total individuals 0,848 ind/m2. The highest abundance of reef fish was at station 2 which the depth was 10 meter equal to 0,312 ind/m2 whereas the lowest fish abundance was at station 1 which the depth was 10 meter equal to 0,088 ind/m2. While the result of the reseach, the highest live coral cover percentage was at 2 meters with depth of 10 meters ie 71,2% and the lowest live coral cover was at the station 1 with depth of 10 meters ie 3,36%. The percentage of live coral cover has a close relationship which if live coral cover was low then the abundance of reef fish was also low, and if coral cover was high then the abundance of reef fish was also abundant.

Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region. Introduction and finally a complex geologic past highlighted The region consisting of eastern Indonesia, East by shifting island arcs, oceanic plate collisions, Timor, Sabah, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and widely fluctuating sea levels (Polhemus and the Solomon Islands is the global centre of 2007). reef fish diversity (Allen 2008).

Twenty-two reciprocally monophyletic sister- species pairs were identified: 64% were allopatric, and the remainder were sympatric. Age of divergence was similar for allopatric and sympatric species pairs. Sympatric sister pairs displayed greater divergence in morphol- ogy, ecology, and sexually dimorphic colour patterns than did allopatric pairs, suggesting that both genetic drift in allopatric species pairs and ecologically adaptive divergence between members of sympatric pairs have played a role in diversification. Basal species typically have small geographical ranges and are restricted to geographically and ecologically peripheral reef habitats. We found little evidence that a single dominant process has driven diversification, nor did we detect a pattern of discrete, sequential stages of diversification in relation to habitat, ecology, and reproductive biology. The evolution of Chlorurus and Scarus has been complex, involving a number of speciation processes.

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.

Zoological Studies 43(3): 519-536. In total, 30 species belonging to 7 genera and 2 subfamilies of the family Scaridae are found in Taiwan. Among them, 4 species, Calotomus japonicus, Scarus chameleon, S. quoyi, and S. spinus, are recorded for the 1st time from Taiwan. The biogeographical distribution of Calotomus japonicus is extended southwards to southern Taiwan. According to Bellwood (1994), 5 species previously classified into the genus Scarus in Shen et al. (1993) should be placed in the genus Chlorurus: C. bowersi, C. japanensis, C. microrhi- nos, C. oedema, and C. sordidus. The 2nd and 3rd species mentioned above were respectively used as junior synonyms of S. pyrrhurus and S. gibbus. Furthermore, we found specimens which would be a new species of Scarus since its morphological and molecular data show significant differences from other congeneric species. Because most of the parrotfish specimens in Shao and Chen (1989) were damaged or discarded, we recollect- ed and re-deposited almost all of them to the Research Museum of the Institute of Zoology, Academia Sinica, Taipei.

A recurrent question arising in fish bioacoustics research concerns the number of vocal fish species that may exist. Although it is not possible to provide a precise globally valid number, an estimation based on recordings already collected at coral reefs (Moorea) and on morphological approaches indicates that approximately half of the fish families of this particular environment has at least one known sound- producing species. In light of this, acoustic behaviour should be fully considered in biology, ecology and management plans as it may provide information on a consistent portion of fish biodiversity. Fish bioacoustics has switched from anecdotal reports to long-term, large-scale monitoring studies, capable of providing high resolution information on fish populations’ composition and dynamics.
