Abstract


Labi-labi (Testudines; Trionychidae) merupakan kelompok kura-kura air tawar. Sumatera Selatan sebagai salah satu daerah yang mempunyai potensi sumber daya ikan yang secara nyata berkontribusi dalam mengeksploitasi labi-labi di Indonesia. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara intensif dan regular pada periode bulan Pebruari 2006 sampai dengan Pebruari 2007 yang berlokasi di Sumatera Selatan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi jenis Trionychidae dan menggambarkan distribusi di Sumatera Selatan. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei lapang dan wawancara dengan penampung lokal di Palembang, Sumatera Selatan. Hasil penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa terdapat 3 jenis Trionychidae yang ada di Sumatera Selatan, yaitu Amyda cartilaginea Boddaert 1770, Dogania subplana Geoffroy 1809, dan Pelochelys cantorii Gray 1864. Jenis yang mendominasi dalam hal jumlah adalah A. cartilaginea (84,28%) serta sekaligus sebagai jenis yang distribusi paling luas.

 

Softshell turtles (Testudines; Trionychidae), known locally as labi-labi is the group of freshwater turtles. As one of the potential area of inland water fishery resources, South Sumatera plays an significant role in terms of their abundance and contribution as well to softshell turtles exploitation in Indonesia. To support the long term management technique for one of the threathened species, a one year intensive and regular observations were made during the period between February 2006 to February 2007. The study was carried out through field measurement survey and interview with the local collectors at Palembang. The aim of the study was to describe the Trionychidae species and its geographical distribution in South Sumatera. The results indicated that there were 3 species of Trionychidae occured at South Sumatera consist of Amyda cartilaginea Boddaert 1770, Dogania subplana Geoffroy 1809, and Pelochelys cantorii Gray 1864.
