Title

Inventarisasi berilustrasi siput laut (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) di Selat Sempu, Indonesia

Abstract

Indo-Pacific region is known to be the biodiversity center of heterobranch sea slug. Nontheless, the species distribution details of this animal group is relatively unknown. In Indonesia, studies about heterobranch sea slug species distribution are heavily concentrated on the eastern region of the country, while studies in the western counterpart are still inadequate. Heterobranch sea slug’s occurrence in Sempu Strait is not well-studied. So far, the occurrence of this animal group only could be found from underwater photographer’s personal collection. The aims of this research is to make a record about heterobranch sea slug’s diversity at Sempu Strait with illustration and annotation included, so in the future, this study could be used as an information source for underwater macrophotographers and for identification guide for future studies. A total of 35 sporadic surveys done within October 2017 to July 2019 at eleven dive sites in Sempu Strait. During the survey, 45 heterobranch sea slug species have been identified where 35 belong to Nudibranchia order, 6 species belong to Aplysiida (Anaspidea) order, 2 species belong to Cephalaspidea order, and 2 species belong to Sacoglossa superorder. We hope this preliminary survey could encourage further research about heterobranch sea slug in Sempu Strait and the surrounding waters.
