Abstract

The downstream of Musi River is one of signficant fishing grounds in the coastal area of South Sumatera Province. While daily spatial distribution of fish in estuarine areas is determined by tidal pattern, seasonal spatial distribution of the fish is expected to be more associated with climate dynamics. Such pattern of change is important to be recognized by fisheries managers, especially in developing preparedness response to abrupt change threatening fish resources. The fish community structure and distribution pattern between two consecutive months, however, may not be significantly different. This study was carried out to compare the fish community structure and fish distribution in the area between the end of transitional season (June 2018) and the beginning of dry season (July 2018). Taxonomic composition and fish community structure were identified from catches of local fishers each month. Data collection activities were carried out at five stations where an ecological estuarine gradient is expected. For each site, small differences in biodiversity, evenness, domination and dispersion indices were identified between the two months, except at Selat Cemara for the first four indices and Upang for dispersion index. Such spatial-temporal pattern can be used as an ecological baseline for managing the local fisheries.
