Abstract:
The objective of this study was to assess the environmental conditions of a heavily polluted marine habitat using
descriptors of fish parasites. Epinephelus coioides from Jakarta Bay aswell as off Jakarta Baywas studied for metazoan
parasites. Based on 70 fish and considering previous studies (230 fish), an environmental indicator system
was designed. Including the recent study, a total of 51 parasite species have been recorded for E. coioides in
Indonesian waters. Seven of them combined with five parasitological indices are useful descriptors for the environmental
status of marine ecosystems. The results are visualized in a star graph. A significant different parasite
infection between nine analyzed localities demonstrates the negative influence of the megacity Jakarta onto the
coastal environment.We herewith complete a parasite based indicator systemfor Indonesian coastalwaters, and
suggest that it can be used in other marine habitats as well as for further epinephelids. Ansprechpartner Weitere Information im WWW
