Abstract:
Background: This study aims to determine the possibility of cultivating Eucheuma cottonii seaweed based on plankton aspects around Pancana Beach, Barru Regency, Indonesia.
Materials and Methods: The study was divided into 3 observation stations (ST) based on the characteristics of each location. Data was collected and analyzed by descriptive analysis.
Results: The results showed that based on the plankton aspect, the research location was still suitable for the cultivation of seaweed of the type Eucheuma cottonii when viewed from the aspects of plankton abundance, diversity, uniformity and dominance.
Conclusions: All study sites have suitable plankton abundance, diversity and uniformity which can support the growth and survival of Eucheuma cottonii, and no plankton dominates in these waters.
