Abstract

Shrimps play several important roles as resource of animal protein and a part of an ecosystem balance. However, diversity of shrimps depends highly on the condition of their habitats. The aim of this research was to analyze the diversity of shrimps which lives in Asam-Asam River as a teaching material in the form of a leaflet. The method of this research was the descriptive method. This research used three stations of observation. The first station was situated at Asam-Asam River near the natural vegetation. The second station was situated at Asam-Asam River near the outlet of Coal-fired Power Plant (hence PLTU as Indonesian acronym), and the third station was situated at Asam-Asam River near the settlement of residents. Each station was divided into two zones that were the left and the right sides of the river. Shrimps found were identified by using the shrimp-identification books and then were analyzed by using formula. The results of this research showed that there were four species of the shrimps which were found in all stations, namely : Palaemon concinnus, Metapenaeus monoceros, Macrobrachium rosenbergi, and Macrobranchium acanthurus. The value of diversity indexes of Station I, II, and III respectively were 0,271, 0,693, and 0,271 or diversity indexes of the shrimps were low (H' = <1). The results of this research will be developed become teaching material in form of a leaflet which were valid and reliable according to the validators.
