Abstract
This study was conducted at Kalong Bay, Kemaman where there were 43 sampling
stations. This study was conducted to determine the polychaete present and also
determine the abundance and diversity of the polychaete. The most dominant species
of polychaete was also determined. The samples were collected, identify and
calculated for their abundance and diversity. Univariate and multivariate analysis
were calculated, for example density (no. indv/m
2
), Shannon-Wiener, evenness,
Margalef index and Bray-Curtis by using PRIMER software. One-way ANOV A also
was calculated using SPSS software. There are 11 order, 32 families and 110 species
present. Station 40 has the highest density (1710. no. indv/m
2
), might due to the
sediment grain size and total organic carbon, TOC. Station 39 has lowest density
because absent of polychaete.
