This research was conducted in March 2022 in the Coastal Waters of Dumai City. This
study aims to analyze the amount of organic matter and the abundance of macrozoobenthos
and the relationship between the amount of organic matter and the abundance of
macrozoobenthos. The method used is a survey method consisting of 10 stations with 2
replications at each station. And 1 station is a control station located on the north coast of
North Rupat District, Bengkalis Regency. Sediment sampling was carried out in the field and
then taken to the Marine Chemistry Laboratory, Riau University for analysis of organic matter
and macrozoobenthos analysis. Based on a simple linear regression test, the relationship
between the amount of organic matter and the abundance of macrozoobenthos obtained a
correlation value (r) = -0. 4637 with the mathematical equation y = -4.884x + 98.896. The test
results show a weak and inverse relationship between the amount of organic matter and the
abundance of macrozoobenthos. This means that with the increase in the amount of organic
matter, the abundance of macrozoobenthos in the coastal waters of Dumai City will decrease.
The value of the coefficient of determination (R2
) is 0.2146. This figure shows that the effect
of organic matter on the abundance of macrozoobenthos is small, namely 21.46%.
