Abstract

Borneo is one of the regions expected to have the highest diversity of seagrasses in the world. However, the diversity of seagrasses has scarcely been studied in Brunei Darussalam. The diversity of seagrasses at the intertidal and subtidal zones in Brunei was extensively surveyed in 2016. Six species of seagrasses were found at Pulau Muara Besar and Pulau Bedukang, and this was the first time that three of them (Halophila beccarii, Halodule pinifolia, and Cymodocea rotundata) had been recorded in Brunei. The total area of seagrass distribution around the two islands was approximately 1.5 km2. The present study extends the distribution of seagrasses on Borneo and suggests that Brunei has a rich seagrass diversity and an aquatic ecosystem supported by the seagrasses.
文莱达鲁萨兰国的海草多样性:三种海草的首次记录
婆罗洲是世界上海草多样性最高的地区之一。然而,在文莱达鲁萨兰国几乎没有对海草的多样性进行过研究。2016年,对文莱潮间带和潮下带海草的多样性进行了广泛调查。在Muara Besar岛和Bedukang岛发现了6种海草,其中3种(Halophila beccarii、Halodule pinifolia和Cymodocea rotundata)在文莱首次被记录。两岛周围海草分布总面积约为1.5 km2。本研究扩大了海草在婆罗洲的分布,并表明文莱拥有丰富的海草多样性和由海草支持的水生生态系统。
