Fish biodiversity index, Mendelang river, Principal Component Analysis, Water qualityAbstract
Information regarding the ecological evaluation of the Mendelang River from abiotic and biotic components is still limited. This study aims to determine species richness and abundance, assess diversity indices, and determine the effect of water quality on fish abundance in the Mendelang River, Mekar Jaya Village, South Tabir Subdistrict, Merangin Regency. The research method used was a survey with participatory observation techniques. The data collected included fish catches using ambat net fishing gear and water quality parameters (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, transparancy, and current). The results showed that there were 21 species with a total of 1541 individuals. The most dominant species were Seluang and Nilem. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’) value of 2.10 indicates a moderate category, the evenness index (E) of 0.69 is classified as high, and the Simpson dominance index (C) of 0.18 is in the low category. The water quality conditions of the Mendelang River were measured based on the water quality parameters. Meanwhile, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) shows that Seluang fish are strongly associated with temperature and pH, while Nilem fish are associated with pH and current. Based on the fish diversity index and water quality parameters, the Mendelang River ecosystem can be classified as ecologically stable. This ecological assessment serves as a foundation for evaluating and monitoring aquatic habitats, thereby supporting sustainable fisheries management.
