Abstract

Mangrove crab (Scylla serrata) is one of the fishery resources that has economic value. The fulfillment of market needs that are still dependent on nature encourages efforts in the cultivation of mangrove crabs (Scylla serrata). Sengkubang Village has a mangrove area which is the habitat of mangrove crabs that have the potential to be used as cultivated land, but data related to habitat parameters and quality are not yet available. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and quality of mangrove crab habitat (Scylla serrata) in the coastal waters of Sengkubang Village, Mempawah Hilir District, Mempawah Regency. The research method used is to measure water quality including temperature, salinity, water pH, substrate pH, DO, tidal waterlogging, substrate texture, vegetation type, and vegetation density. Crab fishing is carried out by free sampling and using traditional traps (bubu). The research data was compared with habitat quality score data based on the Mangrove Crab Habitat Quality Index. The results showed that the quality of the mangrove crab habitat of Scylla serrata in the coastal waters of Sengkubang village, Mempawah Hilir District, Mempawah Regency is classified as moderate with a total value of 58 so that it is quite supportive for the growth and development of mangrove crabs.
