Bengawan Madiun River, Diversity, Fish, Madiun CityAbstract
Fish play an important role in maintaining the balance of river ecosystems. The Bengawan Madiun River, which flows through Madiun City, is not only a vital natural resource but also supports the lives of the surrounding community. This study aims to identify and analyze the diversity of fish species in the Bengawan Madiun River, Madiun City, East Java. Sampling was conducted purposively at three observation stations, namely the Patihan Bridge Area, the Madiun City Bantaran Park Area, and the Sambirejo Bridge Area. The sampling method used included ¾ inch and 2.5 inch nets and fish traps. The results showed that 17 fish species belonging to 5 orders and 12 families, comprising a total of 495 individuals, were found, with the Cyprinidae family being the most dominant. The Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H’) value was in the moderate category (2.31-2.54), the Evenness Index (E) was high (0.8894-0.9202), and the Species Richness Index (R) was moderate (2.74-2.95). Meanwhile, the Sorensen Species Similarity Index (IS) showed a high value (0.90-0.96), indicating homogeneity of fish communities across stations with similar habitat characteristics. Overall, the Bengawan Madiun River in Madiun City still supports a diverse and relatively stable fish community. However, further research is needed on aquatic environmental conditions and potential anthropogenic pressures to support sustainable fish management and conservation.
