Keanekaragaman Makrozoobentos sebagai Indikator Kualitas Air Sungai Cisadane, Jawa Barat – Banten (Macrozoobenthos diversity as indicator of water quality of Cisadane River)

Abstract

Abstrak
Sungai Cisadane memiliki multifungsi untuk kebutuhan pertanian, rumah tangga dan industri. Namun, kegiatan manusia di Daerah Aliran Sungai/DAS Cisadane dan di Sungai Cisadane dapat mengancam fungsi dan nilai ekosistem S.Cisadane. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keanakeragaman makrozoobentos sebagai indikator kualitas air S.Cisadane. Penelitian dilakukan di sembilan (9) titik di sepanjang Sungai Cisadane dari hulu hingga hilir. Sampel makrozoobentos dikoleksi dengan jala surber dan Eckman Grabb. Pada musim kemarau, kekayaan taksa makrozoobentos terendah di bagian tengah dan hilir hilir (8 taksa) dan tertinggi di hulu (20 taksa). Kualitas air sungai ditentukan berdasarkan Indeks keanekaragaman Shannon-Wiener (H’). Kualitas air S.Cisadane yaitu baik/tercemar sangat ringan di hulu (Stasiun 1), cukup baik/tercemar ringan di hulu - tengah (Stasiun 2-5), sedang/tercemar sedang tengah mendekati hilir (Stasiun 6), dan buruk/tercemar berat di hilir (Stasiun 7-9).

Abstract
Cisadane River has multifunction i.e. agriculture, domestic and industry. All human activities in Cisadane Watershed and in Cisadane River could threat function and value of Cisadane River. The aim of this research was to analysis macrozoobenthos diversity as bioindicator of Cisadane River. Nine (9) stations were designed along Cisadane River from up to downstream. Samples were collected with Surber net and Eckman Grabb. The taxa richness decreased from upstream (20 taxa) to downstream (8 taxa).Based on Shannon-Wiener (H’), the water quality of Cisadane River were classified i.e. good (Station 1), quite good/slightly polluted (Station 2-5), moderate/moderately polluted (Station 6), and not good/ heavily polluted (Station 7-9).
