Abstract

Aquaculture activities produce organic wastes that are discharged into coastal waters and may impact the water quality. This research aimed to study the status of organic pollution and its spatial distribution on the west coast of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Water was sampeld from two locations (Punaga Village, Takalar Regency (an open water system), and Bojo Village, Barru District (in a bay, a semi-closed water system)). Water quality was assessed by using the STORET index. Whilst to assess the spatial distribution of organic waste, an interpolation technique was used. Results showed that the water quality was categorized as highly polluted by organic pollution. The distribution of the organic pollutant, however, showed a different spatial pattern between the two locations. The difference was may be due to the different origin of the pollutant and geomorphology of the sampling locations.

Abstract

Jellyfish can be found in most coastal waters and their occurrence can be frequent during the day. This study aimed to detect the occurrence of jellyfish based on the oceanographic condition in the coastal waters of Makassar. Observations were conducted in July-September 2018 at three stations namely Port of Soekarno Hatta (Station 1), Port of Paotere (Station 2), and Port of Untia (Station 3). Jellyfish sampling was conducted in the morning, noon and afternoon, from three stations as aforementioned. Jellyfish samples were taken and identified at the Laboratory of Marine Biology, Faculty of Marine Science and Fisheries, Universitas Hasanuddin. Oceanographic conditions, i.e. temperature, salinity, transparency, and current velocity, were measured. All data were analyzed descriptively. It showed that the oceanographical conditions were in the suitable range for supporting jellyfish growth. Three genera of jellyfish were found, namely Aurelia, Porpita, and Aequorea. Aurelia was abundant in Station 1 and 2, whereas Porpita in Station 3. It also showed that during the afternoon, the jellyfish occurred more frequently.
