ABSTRAK
Suatu kajian telah dijalankan
untuk menentukan
kepelbagaian dan kelimpahan foraminifera di sedimen
permukaan sekitar
delta Sungai Kelantan memandangkan kajian
foraminifera terutamanya di perairan
marin Malaysia
amat kurang. Sejumlah 22 stesen
daripada dua
garisan transek telah ditentukan sebagai kawasan persampelan. Sebanyak 10,317
individu foraminifera yang terdiri
daripada 27 famili,
34 genus dan 55 spesies
telah ditemui di kawasan kajian. Secara keseluruhannya, famili Hauerinidae mencatatkan kepelbagaian spesies tertinggi (10 spesies) manakala famili paling dominan dengan jumlah individu tertinggi ialah Rotaliidae (26.14%). Spesies dominan
dan paling melimpah
di kawasan kajian ialah Asterorotalia pulchella (17.24%)
dan Operculina ammonoides (10.19%).
Indeks
kepelbagaian spesies, H’ yang dicatatkan ialah antara 0.5 hingga 3.1 manakala indeks kekayaan spesies, α adalah antara 1.5 hingga 7.9. Kelimpahan dan kepelbagaian spesies tertinggi (α=7.9, H’=3.1)
dicatatkan pada
stesen 21 yang terletak di laut terbuka dengan
kedalaman air sebanyak
36.8 m dan bersaliniti
32.2 ppt mendekati laut
normal. Nilai H’ dan α terendah
dicatatkan pada
stesen yang berdekatan dengan muara sungai
yang cetek dan
bersaliniti lebih rendah. Secara keseluruhannya, nilai indeks kepelbagaian yang dicatatkan di kawasan kajian adalah menepati
persekitaran marin
berair cetek.
Kesimpulannya,
kepelbagaian dan kelimpahan foraminifera di kawasan
kajian dipengaruhi
oleh kedalaman dan saliniti air.

ABSTRACT
A study was conducted to determine
the diversity and abundance of surface sediment foraminifera at
the delta of Sungai Kelantan as information on foraminifera, especially
in Malaysia marine waters, is scarce. A total of 22 stations from
two transects were designated as sampling areas. A total of 10,317
individuals belonging to 27 families, 34 genera and 55 species of
foraminifera were found in the study area. Family Hauerinidae,
with 10 species recorded, had the highest species diversity while Rotaliidae was the family with most abundant individuals (26.14%).
The dominant and abundant species in the study area were Asterorotalia pulchella
(17.24%) and Operculina ammonoides
(10.19%). The species diversity index, H’ and species richness
index, α recorded were between 0.5 and 3.1 and 1.5 and 7.9,
respectively. The highest abundance and diversity of species (α=7.9,
H’=3.1) was recorded at station 21 as this station was located in
open sea with a depth of 36.8 m and salinity at 32.2 ppt,
close to normal marine salinity. The lowest H’ and α values
were recorded for stations near estuary with shallow waters and
lower salinity. In general, the diversity index recorded at the
delta of Sungai Kelantan belongs to the shallow water of marine
environments. In conclusion, the diversity and abundance of foraminifera
at the delta of Sungai Kelantan was influenced by the depth of its
waters and salinity.
