Keanekaragaman Burung Pantai dan Potensi Makanan di Kawasan Pantai Baru Kecamatan Pantai Labu Deli Serdang Sumatera Utara

Abstract

Research about biodiversity of shoredbirds and potential of the food had been conducted for February to November 2013. The research was aimed to know biodiversity of shoredbirds and potenstial of food. Pantai Baru is one of beach along eastern of the beach in Sumatera and determined as Important Bird Area (IBA). Shoredbirds data sampling used Concentration Method, and macrozoobenthos sampling used paralone pipe. Futhermore to estimate the potential food used the calculation of macrozoobenthos biomass.. The result of research found two families (Charadriidae and Scolopaciidae) and 19 species of shorebirds which used this location as feeding ground, and 21 species of macrozoobenthos which had potential as source of shorebird food, and biomass contained in the location of research was 1175,38 g.m -3 . The highest bird species were Pluvialis fulva (319) and the lowest Numenius madagascariensis (1). The highest number of macrozoobenthos was Nereis sp. of 8.684 ind. and the lowest was Balanus sp. 1 Balanus sp. 2 Goneplax sp. each of them 7 ind. The highest biomass was found in Sinovacula virens (1800,06 gr.m-3 ) and lowest in Balanus sp.2 (1,42 gr.m-3 ).
