Abstract
Coral reefs are marine ecosystems located in the tropics in shallow waters. Coral from the Mussidae family becomes one of the corals that are widely exploited as ornamental corals. Kelagian Island waters have a high coral cover, so the identification of the Mussidae group is needed as an assessment of this type of coral. This study aimed to analyze Mussidae coral cover in the waters of Kelagian Island. The data collection took place in December 2018 at two locations. Physical-chemical parameters of waters taken using porTABLE tools include salinity, temperature, pH, Dissolved oxygen, brightness and water current, while nitrates and phosphates were analyzed in the laboratory. Coral cover data was taken using UPT (Underwater Photo Transect) on a fifty-meter square transect. Photos were taken every one meter and then analyzed with CPCe software. Mussidae corals identified were species L. corymbose and A. faviaformis. Total coral cover in the waters of Kelagian Island were in moderate condition except at S1-7m was poor conditions. The results of measurements of aquatic parameters revealed that the environmental conditions of this area were still in good condition. All parameters were measured under normal circumstances to support the life of the coral reef ecosystem biota. However, this may indicate that the hard corals in this region are generally threatened.
