Abstract

The existence of shrimp ponds with intertidal water conditions is closely related, especially the presence of waste from aquaculture activities with the presence of intertidal biota. This study aims to determine the biodiversity and abundance of intertidal biota in front of shrimp ponds on the islands of Lombok and Sumbawa. Sampling was carried out using the line transect method at low tide. Species richness, composition, abundance, and diversity indices such as diversity index (H^), dominance index (D) and uniformity index (E) were observed. The results showed that there were 27 species found from Lombok waters and 16 species from Sumbawa waters. The highest value of species richness, abundance, value of H^ and E came from the island of Lombok. Each value is for H^ (2.708) in Lombok and H^ (2.343) in Sumbawa, D (0.074) in Lombok and D (0.125) in Sumbawa. E (0.633) in Lombok and E (0.541) in Sumbawa.
