Abstract


Phytoplankton is a group of plankton that can carry out photosynthesis and their lives floating on the water surface because they are carried by currents or waves. Phytoplankton is a primary producer that can form organic substances from inorganic substances in the photosynthesis process. This research was carried out from December 2020 to July 2021 in the water area of the small islands of Bungus, Kabung Bay, Padang City. This study aims to determine the structure of the phytoplankton community in the waters of the small islands of Bungus, Kabung Bay. This study used a survey method and the sampling was determined by purposive random sampling. Based on this study, it was found that the phytoplankton diversity index in the waters of the Bungus Kabung Bay Island was included in the medium category with an even distribution in all locations and the absence of dominating species.

Keywords: community, phytoplankton, structure


Keywords
