Nudibranchia Species, Water Quality and Substrate at Malalayang Dua Beach, Manado City

This research used the exploration method, where a dive team of three people descended to a subtidal depth of 3 to 10 meters. The dive team surveyed this site for 40 minutes. Measurements of environmental parameters seawater temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and turbidity—were taken using a Horiba U-536 and pH meter. The results identified 11 species. The average pH was 8.24 at Station A (Gasoline Station) and 8.06 at Station B (Malalayang Beach Walk). The average seawater temperature was 28.69°C at Station A and 29.08°C at Station B. Turbidity was 0 NTU at both stations. The dose of dissolved oxygen (DO) was 6.77 mg/L at Station A and 6.92 mg/L at Station B. The salinity was 31.49 ppt at Station A and 31.35 ppt at Station B. Except for TDS, all environmental parameters support Nudibranchia's life. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) values were 57.73 g/L at Station A and 57.33 g/L at Station B, respectively. These TDS values are unsuitable for benthic marine life since they do not fit their range tolerances. Nudibranchia attached on substrates variations from dead coral with algae (DCA), sponge, algae, and dead coral fragments. The most dominant substrate occupied by Nudibranchia was dead coral with algae (DCA).

Abstract

This research used the exploration method, where a dive team of three people descended to a subtidal depth of 3 to 10 meters. The dive team surveyed this site for 40 minutes. Measurements of environmental parameters seawater temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and turbidity—were taken using a Horiba U-536 and pH meter. The results identified 11 species. The average pH was 8.24 at Station A (Gasoline Station) and 8.06 at Station B (Malalayang Beach Walk). The average seawater temperature was 28.69°C at Station A and 29.08°C at Station B. Turbidity was 0 NTU at both stations. The dose of dissolved oxygen (DO) was 6.77 mg/L at Station A and 6.92 mg/L at Station B. The salinity was 31.49 ppt at Station A and 31.35 ppt at Station B. Except for TDS, all environmental parameters support Nudibranchia's life. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) values were 57.73 g/L at Station A and 57.33 g/L at Station B, respectively. These TDS values are unsuitable for benthic marine life since they do not fit their range tolerances. Nudibranchia attached on substrates variations from dead coral with algae (DCA), sponge, algae, and dead coral fragments. The most dominant substrate occupied by Nudibranchia was dead coral with algae (DCA).
