Abstract

Crabs have an important role in the food chain among the habitat of migratory birds at Berbak-Sembilang National Park (BSNP), due to it is the main food for these birds’ population. The purpose of this study was to record the crabs’ species found among the habitat of migratory birds at BSNP. The methodology used is a survey by measuring environmental parameter data and sampling crabs, where the identification of species is carried out morphologically and analyzed with references. The results showed that there were three species of crabs found on the BSNP coast, where it was identified as a species of Uca dussumieri (Edwards, 1852) (C1), Metaplax longipes (Stimpson, 1858) (C2), and Metaplax distinct (Edwards, 1852) (C3). Habitat of crabs are found on fine muddy substrates at a depth of about 60 to 80 cm, pH 6.08 to 6.2, salinity 27 to 29 psu, temperature 29 to 30 oC, nitrates and phosphates in water 6.69 mg L-1 and 0.197 mg L-1. This condition is very suitable for the growth of crabs. In the future, research should be carried out on chemical-ecological interactions of crabs and another biota.
