Dynamics of Endemic Habitats Microcrustacean Phronima Suppa (Phronima sp) as Determinants of Artificial Production Development

Abstract—Phronima suppa found endemic in certain brackhiswater pond in the Tasiwalie Village become an important part of a successful recovery of shrimp ponds. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of endemic habitat environment. Research conducted in the A, B, and C station as the endemic habitats and D station is not the endemic habitat or control. Phronima suppa density at A station very high during the first week of April and the third week of June. At B station reaches the level of high density in the first week of May. Dominance index ranged from 0.4740 to 0.5731 in April until June to explain the mechanism of predation among plankton. Phronima stability at A and B station for approximately two weeks, the availability of organic matter, and the type of plankton in the habitat of endemic become the main determinant in the development of artificial phronima suppa production.  Index Terms—dynamics, endemic, phronima, shrimp, production
