ABSTRACT

 

A symbiotic process between zooxanthellae and corals can support the adaptative factors in terms of natural vulnerability criteria. The proposed consideration are 1) the symbiosis between zooxanthellae and corals provides phenomenal contributions to coral evolutionary process and 2) the criteria used by Gomez and Yap have been merely based on live coral cover that is still becoming key tools for the evaluation of coral reef health status measure. These criteria have been weaker and weaker due to neglecting the feature of intra- and interspesific relationship in coral biota itself. Therefore, the use of zooxanthellae and coral symbiotic relationship is thought of being able to complete the coral reef quality evaluation since its information could address this relationship feature beside on the basis of response to environmental pressures.

 

 


Keywords : symbiotic, zooxanthellae, coral.

 

ABSTRAK

Proses simbiosis antara zooxanthellae dengan karang dapat memberikan suatu support terhadap faktor penyesuai dalam hal ini dari segi kriteria kerentanan alami. Pertimbangan yang diajukan adalah (1) simbiosis antara karang dengan zooxanthellae memberikan konstribusi fenomenal dalam proses evolusi karang dan (2) kriteria yang dipergunakan saat ini dari analisis Gomez dan Yap hanya didasarkan atas tutupan karang hidup yang sampai sekarang menjadi acuan bagi evaluasi tingkat status kesehatan terumbu. Kriteria tersebut dipandang mengalami kelemahan karena mengabaikan sifat hubungan intra dan ekstraspesifik dari biota karang itu sendiri. Atas dasar hal tersebut, maka penggunaan hubungan simbiosis zoxanthellae dan karang dipandang dapat melengkapi evaluasi kualitas terumbu karang karena informasinya dapat menjelaskan sifat hubungan intra dan ekstra spesifik, disamping atas dasar respon terhadap tekanan lingkungan.
