Identification of Crustacea Class Arthropoda in the Legend Pamekasan Coastal

Abstract

Identification of the Arthropod class of crustaceans is essential to develop strategies for the management and preservation of arthropods in the future because, until now, there has been no data collection on what types of Arthropod class of crustaceans exist in the coastal area of The Legend Pamekasan. This study aims to record the species of arthropod class of crustaceans that exist in the legend beach. Data on arthropod species in the crustacean class were collected using exploratory, descriptive methods. The results of this study indicate that the arthropod class of crustaceans found in the coastal area of The Legend Padelegan Village, Pademawu District, Pamekasan Regency, totalled eight species which were reduced to 4 families. Most of the Arthropod species in the Crutasea class are dominated by the Ocypodidae family, which consists of 3 species. Then from the Sesarmidae and Panopeidae families, which are both number 2 species. In addition, Arthropod species from the Varunidae family were also found, namely one species.
