Abstract

This research aims to develop biomonitoring methods in terms of the development of marine life that can be used as bio-indicators of marine pollution. The analysis was optimized by means of samples taken from three different locations of the Barranglompo island waters, using AAS as an analysis technique. The analysis showed that cadmium content of heavy metals in starfish was 0.9916 ppm at the point I (05002’35,1” south latitude and 119019’46,1” north latitude), 1.0355 ppm at point II (05002’32,5” south latitude and 119019’44,3” north latitude) and 0.7889 ppm at point III (05002’29,4” south latitude and 119019’44,0” north latitude) in Spermonde Islands waters, particu- larly in Barranglompo island waters.

Abstract

Research about the distribution of Pb in water, sediment and Red Snapper Fish (Lutjanus erythropterus) in the waters around the port of Parepare has been done using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Sample water, sediment and red snapper fish (Lutjanus erythropterus) was taken in three location; Ujung Lero, the residential people and traditional market.  The results showed that Pb levels in water ranged between 0.0380-0.8240 ppm, in sediments ranged between 38.9663-60.8982  mg/kg  dry  weight  while the red  snapper  fish  (Lutjanus  erythropterus)  ranged  between 4.0580-8.4590 mg/kg dry weight. Heavy metal of Pb most widely distributed in the sediment and in the water at least. The results have exceeded the threshold of water quality standards.
