Abstact. Lambur village has a mangrove ecosystem that is currently experiencing damage
due to abrasion and occupation of land by the community. This threatens the presence of
biota in it including hermit crabs. This study aims to determine the diversity of species of
hermit crabs and conditions of environmental factors in the mangrove ecosystem of Lambur
Village, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency. The research was conducted on April-May 2017.
This research type is descriptive explorative with technique of determination of station
conducted by purposive sampling. Sampling was conducted on three stations with different
habitat characteristics. The samples observed for all types of hermit crabs found and also
environmental factors include, temperature, pH, salinity, and substrate types. Sample was
identified and analyzed index of species diversity and dominance index. We also conducted
measure condition of environmental factors. The results showed that hermit crabs were found
from 2 families are Coenobitidae and Diogenidae with 5 species, namely Clibanarius
longitarsus, Clibanarius infraspinatus, Diogenes mixtus, Coenobita lila and Coenobita
rugosus. Index of diversity at station I is low (0.3450) with high dominance index (0.8051).
Stations II and III have medium diversity index (1,1622 & 1,239) with low dominance index
(0,3287 & 0,3182). Overall condition of environmental factors in the mangrove ecosystem
Lambur Village is still within the range of tolerance for hermit crabs.
