Patterns of recruitment and succession on ceramic settlement panels were examined in a subtidal marine community in eastern Australia to determine whether competition for settlement space with temperate biota was a factor potentially limiting the development of coral communities in a subtropical location. Replicate settlement panels were installed at Split Solitary Island (30˚S) in November 1992 and were destructively sampled after 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 16 and 29 months. Species richness and community structure data were analysed by non-parametric multivariate analysis. Space on panel surfaces was rapidly occupied; the upper surfaces by algae and the lower surfaces by bryozoans, ascidians and sponges, with a divergence of community structure over time. Of the 228 coral recruits identified on the panels, 98% were recorded on the upper surface of panels, in contrast to studies at most tropical sites where corals recruit predominantly to lower surfaces. Owing to the rapid settlement of other biota, free space for coral settlement was limited and this may account for the low coral recruitment rate recorded. High post-settlement mortality (>94%) of coral recruits over a 3-month period indicated the significance of post-settlement factors in accounting for low recruitment in settlement-panel studies.

Bulang districts Batam Islands of  Riau province (Riau Islands), its consists of many islands with as well as having the potential diversity of coastal marine life in particular kinds of macro algae or seaweed. Conducted research aimed to determine the structure of macro- algal communities in the intertidal zone islands. The results of the identification of algal species found 16 species are: the Order of Chlorophyceae as 6 spesies; Order Phaeophyceae as 2 spesies; and Order Rhodophyceae as 8 spesies. The community structure at the five stations showed the highest values were found in the island of dominance Cicir (D ' = 0.79) , uniformity index values on Tengah Island (E ' = 0.99) , while the island Balak had the highest diversity index (H ' = 0.88) , with the abundance patterns of population structure on the island is pretty good Central . Results of correlation analysis of regression between IVI types of algae with the conditions of environmental quality suggests that there is a significance (Fhit ˃ F table and the value of r = > 90 %) between IVI algae Halimeda sp and Cryptarachne polyglandulosa at each station with a temperature parameter surface (⁰C) , depth temperature (⁰C) and pH values. Keywords : Algae, Community Structure, Important Value Index.
