Biodiversity is essential for the healthy functioning of ecosystems and provides a range of ecosystem services that are crucial for human well-being. Fish Biodiversity research group investigates the diversity of fish species, their genetic variations, and the ecosystems they inhabit. The research that has been carried out includes DNA barcoding studies that identify several species of commercially important fish and shrimp in Aceh. Other studies have also examined the genetic variation of several important commercial fish species in several Aceh populations and their connectivity with populations outside Aceh waters. Other biodiversity studies are also related to the connectivity of pelagic fish such as sharks, tuna and skipjack that land on fish landing sites with populations around Aceh waters such as the waters of the Indian Ocean, South China Sea, Pacific Ocean and others through genetic data banks. This fishery connectivity can map biodiversity and find out basic studies regarding the conservation status and composition of fisheries in Aceh’s territorial waters. Genetic and morphometric data obtained can be one of the initial steps for sustainable fisheries management in Aceh waters.
