Abstract

The Bay of Lampung, located on the southern part of Lampung Province, is a relatively protected bay, where seagrass ecosystems can be found along its coastlines. High seagrass productivity has allowed it to provide a habitat for various organisms, including fish. This study was conducted from October 2018 to March 2019 in the waters of the Bay of Lampung, Lampung Province. This study aims to determine the composition of fish species in the seagrass meadow ecosystem, the correlation of environmental factors with fish composition, and to identify the degree of similarity among the species. Fish sample collection was performed at each station using a gillnet. Based on the research results, the conditions of the physicochemical and environmental factors were within the standard threshold for fish growth and life. This study found 54 species of 30 families, with a total number of 235 captured fish. Siganus fuscescens dominated the composition of fish species caught. During the transitional seasons I and II and based on the principal component analysis (PCA), the fish compositions at station 5KPLT and station 6MLT were high, as all the environmental factors had jointly affected the fish composition. During the west monsoon, the high level of fish composition at Station 1TL was affected primarily by pH and nitrate concentration. The similarity level of fish species was low, and there were four groups formed.
