Abstract Domas coastal waters, located east of Banten Bay, have an enormous potential for fisheries resources closely related to the presence plankton in area. This study was carried out 6 months, from August 2021 January 2022, examine biodiversity and community structure zooplankton waters. Sampling monthly at six stations distributed areas sea. Data on were examined abundance, diversity, evenness, dominance indices. Based observations, these waters consisted 19 classes, namely Actinopteri, Appendicularia, Bivalvia, Branchiopoda, Cirripedia, Cnidaria, Copepoda, Ctenophora, Enteropneusta, Gastropoda, Gymnolaemata, Hydrozoa, Malacostraca, Ostracoda, Ophiuroidea, Phoronida, Polychaeta, Sagittoidea, Thaliacea. The found abundance Calanoida, Cyclopoida, Nauplius. number taxa varied according sampling time location, 7-34 inds/m 3 627-41386 , respectively. indices varied, 0.885-2.108, 0.327-0.797, 0.172-0.601, results calculations, it can be stated that are classified as moderate.
