Abstrak: Riverbed substrate is a one of potential abiotic resources. It is useful as habitat, foraging area, and spawning area for most aquatic organisms (Susanto 2000). Riverbed has a very complex substrate composition from small sized substrate into rocky substrate. Over exploitation makes the quality and composition of bottom waters changed. Research on aquatic habitats are usually based on a sampling basis using a corer or a van veen grabber (Romimohtarto and Juwana 2009). But it is not time efficient, covering only narrow area and can be applied only in limited location. One of method that can help to overcome this deficiency is using hydroacoustic technology. Hydroacoustic technology is a technology which used to detect underwater objects by using sound propagation. Acoustic classification system of bottom substrate can predict the substrate type and its geotechnical properties. Hydroacoustic also has been widely used in various applications including marine geology, civil engineering, military science, and fisheries (Lambert et al. 2002; Richardson et al. 2002). This technology is able to provide information regarding the relief of the bottom, fish density, direction and movement of fish, as well as the type of bottom substrate in a relatively rapid and extensive reach. Sea bottom has characteristic in reflecting and scattering sound waves as well as the waters of the sea surface. The resulting effect is more complex due to the nature of the sea floor that is composed of diverse elements ranging from hard rock to soft clay and layers that have different compositions (Urick 1983). Some initial researches on aquatic habitats in Indonesia have been conducted by Manik et al. (2006) using the measurement of surface backscattering strength (SS) of Quantitative Echo Sounder (QES) and the SS value for identification of fish habitat, Pujiyati (2008) which using hydroacoustic method for relationship analysis between bottom substrate types with fish demersal community, Harahap (2010) in quantification of the value of bottom acoustic backscatter using multibeam echosounder, and Allo (2011) which applying the method of Manik et al. (2006) for the quantification and characterization of acoustic backscattering of bottom habitat in the Seribu island. This study was conducted in two phases. The first phase is collection of field data and the second is data processing and analyzing phase. Acoustic data collected were using hydroacoustics instrument SIMRAD EY60 120 kHz frequency and recorded by ER60 software. Sampling substrate was conducted at 9 stations acoustic data recording. Analysis of acoustic data include the value of SV E1, SV E2, and SS. Analysis of the substrate data include the percentage of the fraction (sand, silt, clay), and macrozoobenthos (density, diversity, dominance). Analysis of the relationship between acoustic values, the fraction of the substrate, and macrozoobenthos are using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results showed that the type of substrates that are found on sites are sand, muddy sand, sandy mud, and mud. Based on the value of SS for sand (- 12.97 dB), muddy sand (-13.96 dB), sandy mud (-17.14 dB and -15.64 dB), and mud (-30.87 dB to -19.25 dB). It shows also that sand has a high substrate roughness, hardness, and

Judul: Pendekatan metode hidroakustik untuk analisis keterkaitan antara tipe substrat dasar perairan dengan komunitas ikan demersal, The hydroacoustic method approach for interrelatedness analysis of sea bottom substrate type with demersal fish community
Abstrak: The sea bottom substrate has an important role for biota life in sea bottom area. Sea bottom is habitat for benthic, demersal fishes and other marine biota. Therefore, the accuracy and precision to classify the sea bottom substrate become essential. However, data and information on sea bottom substrate type and its relation to biota, particularly demersal fishes, are scanty. This condition is caused by the used method, in general, is limited to grab method which is only covered and mapped a very limited area based on sea bottom sampling station. Nowadays, the new method to obtain sea bottom substrate information has been developed very well, that is hydroacoustic method. Sea bottom substrate, sediments, benthic and vegetations can be accessed by using echosounder and processed digitally. The difference of sea bottom substrate types can be distinguished through the coarseness of topography and hardness of sea bottom substrate which consisted of coral, stone, sand, mud, and clay. The research objective is to analyze the interrelatedness of sea bottom substrate type with demersal fish community by hydroacoustic method approach. Therefore, the obtained data consisted of sea bottom substrate, demersal fish, oceanographic data, and other related data. Those data were obtained from several locations, i.e. Belitung Island in the years of 2002 and 2005, Java Sea (2002 and 2005), East Borneo (2004), and around Pari Island of Seribu Islands (2007). Data processing was done by using several echo data post processing programs, namely Simrad EP-500, Echoview version 3.5 and Simrad BI-60. The hydroacoustic data of sea bottom substrates and grab sampling results were classified based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis. The relation between the abiotic factors and demersal fish community was overlaid descriptively over horizontal distribution map of sea bottom substrate and demersal fish species by using surfer program. The result of bottom sounding shows that the harder the sea bottom substrate, the stronger the backscattering value. On the opposite, the softer the sea bottom substrate, the weaker the backscattering value. Based on PCA and cluster analysis, it is known that strongest backscattering strength value of sea bottom substrate is from coral substrate, followed by backscattering values from sand, muddy sand, sandy mud, and mud, which is weaker respectively. The obtained sea bottom substrate backscattering values can be applied to assess and distinguish sea bottom substrate type in other sea bottom area. The hydroacoustic detection of demersal fishes and swept area by trawl give information of fish density higher at shallow water (<36,5 m) and have small value of fish target strength. These small fish was identified as Leiognathus splenden (“ikan pepetek”). The relation between abiotic factors and demersal fish community in Java Sea shows that: 1) Fish species of Leiognathus splenden does not live in all sea bottom with muddy substrate. This fish was found in the muddy area in a shallow water near coastal zone. 2) Fish species of Upeneus sulphureus has high appearance frequency at all trawl swept area stations. This fish was encountered in a muddy substrate and the total weight of fish (swept by trawl) is gradually higher
