3 Background The transport of fish larvae related to its mechanism and behavior. The larvae migration is strongly affected by the ocean tide pattern because of the small swim speed (Baganti( Baganti,, 1997; Romimohtarto, et al., 2004). The transport of fish egg and fish larvae make an important role to determine the successful recruitment of fish stock. Saleh Bay is the one of area which have potential carrying capacity in recruitment of fish stock.

4 Scope & Purpose The scope of this study based on preliminary survey that found the highest capacity of puffer fish larvae in Saleh Bay. The purpose of this research is to describe a computer modeling study of tidal and wind- driven circulation and accompanying Canthigaster valentini (puffer) larval transport characteristics in the vicinity of Saleh Bay, Sumbawa Indonesia.

9 3DD Suite Software model version 4.09 Developed d by: : ASR, Ltd. (Black, 2002) The 3DD Computational Marine and Freshwater Laboratory consists of a series of coupled numerical models to simulate physical and biological processes in marine and freshwater environments. The models are: 1. 3DD : 3-dimensional flows, short-wave and ocean/atmosphere heat transfer 2. POL3DD : 3-dimensional dispersal 3. WGEN : Estuary wave climate 4. WBEND : Refraction of monochromatic and spectral waves 5. 2DBEACH : Beach circulation and sediment transport 6. GENIUS : Sedimentation around coastal structures 7. Support Manager : Routines for preparation of input files, extraction of results from the model output file and for graphics. 8. PLOT3DD : Matlab graphical routines for plotting the model results are sophisticated and allow a broad range of output styles.

38 Conclusion Remarks Tidal elevation produced by the 3DD Barotropic Hydrodynamical model is in a good agreement with the ORITIDE results, but moderately good with the observation results. The current entered the Saleh Bay dominated by the current originated from Batahai Strait. The current pattern in the north part of the bay is more complicated compared with the southern part. Because of the narrow wide of bay mouth in north part of the bay, so the water exchange between bay water and outside bay is limited. The transport dispersal of Canthigaster valentini agrees with the current pattern circulation.
