Description
Summary:The primary goal of this research was determine physical and chemistry conditions of habitat of Tripneustes gratilla at Cenderawasih Bay waters. Sites of research were Manokwari, Wasior, Biak, Yapen and Nabire. Habitat of T. gratilla was observed directly withdetermine of temperature, salinity, velocity of current, pH, and dissolved oxygen by using thermometer, saline refractometer, pH-meterand DO-meter. We found that habitat of T. gratilla has temperature range of 30-31 ° C, salinity 30 €“32o/oo, pH 7.3-8.0, DO 4.9 €“8.7 mg/L,wave frequency 0.32-0.72 Hz, and current velocity 0.06-0.1 m/sec. Statistic test showed that T. gratilla were impacted by DO about80% and wave frequency with 66%. In general, habitat of T. gratilla in Cenderawasih Bay were in good condition and supportinggrowth, develop and survival of T. gratilla.
