Abstract

Environmental pollution that occurs in Tanjungpinang City, cannot be separated from the pollution of the aquatic ecosystem. Water pollution is caused by the presence of waste from residential activities, shops, industry, and other activities that produce waste. Likewise, what happens in the waters of the Sungai Jang, the activities of settlements, shops, industry can cause water pollution in this area, so a study is needed to see the extent of environmental pollution. The indicator used to determine the level of water pollution is by looking at the saprobity index through the phytoplankton community. This research was conducted by dividing the research stations based on differences in activity, namely; station 1 (settlements), station 2 (mangroves), station 3 (shops, industry), station 4 (reclamation). The results showed that the composition of the phytoplankton species found in the waters of the Sungai Jang, Tanjungpinang consisted of 17 species which were classified into 5 divisions. Diatomae types have the most number of species among other divisions, and the most dominating. The dominance of phytoplankton from the class Bacillariophyceae (Diatomae) cannot be separated from the role of nutrients in the water. The average saprobic index value of -0.39 is classified as Moderately Polluted (Meso Saprobik). Pollution that occurs is a result of organic waste from existing activities, causing an increase in nutrients. From the results of measurements in the field, the nutrient content (nitrate and phosphate) in the waters of the Sungai Jang had exceeded the quality standard.

Abstract

Belida fish (Notopterus notopterus, Pallas 1769) is one of Indonesia's endemic fish which is often found in swamp waters having high economic value. The population of belida fish until now has decreased due to the high fishing activities in nature. To maintain the population of belida fish in order to remain sustainable from nature  is by cultivation activities. One of  important aspect in belida fish culture is the determination of stocking density used. This study aims to determine the optimum stocking densities in the belida fish farming activities. This research was conducted from June to August 2019 in the fish pond of Sungai Paku Village, Kampar Kiri Subdistrict, Riau. The design used was a completely randomized design with 3 levels of treatment and 3 replications. The treatment used in this study was stocking density consisting of 5, 10 and 15 fish / m3. The results showed that the 5 fish / m3 stocking density treatment produced the optimum fish growth with absolute length growth value (11.48 cm), absolute weight growth (48.73 g), daily growth rate (2.83%), survival rate (86 , 7%), fat retention 1.27% and protein retention value 19.83%.

Abstract

Kima (local name) is known as a giant clam of a group of bivalve mollusca belonging to the Tridacnidae family that live in coral ecosystems zhich are considered as endangered species (CITES: Appendix II). This study aims to determine the biodiversity and ecological index of Tridacna in Abang Island waters, as well as determine the status of its presence in this area. A field survey was conducted on the type, number and distribution of tridacnae at each location by SCUBA equipment dive using the sweept area method on the transect lines. The transect wasplotted at 2-5 m in depth parallel to the shoreline at each observation station with covering observation area as far as 2.5 meters both on the left and 2 right side of the observers. The results showed 5 species of Kima with a total of 75 individuals, namely Tridacna maxima, T. Squamosa, T. crocea, T.derasa and H. hipppus. The densitywas maximal for T.maxima 0.014 individu/M2 folowing by T.squamosa (0.009/M2), T.crocea (0.006/M2), T.derasa (0.003/M2), H.hipppus (0.001/M2). While the relative density were T.maxima (44%), T.squamosa (26.7%), T.crocea (18.7%), T.derasa (8.0%), and H.hipppus (2.7%). The diversity index (H ') was 1.33 with representing a medium diversity category, dominance index (D) equal to 0.70 and Uniformity (E') equal to 0.82. T. maxima, T. squamosal, and T. crocea were found abundantly in the study area while T.derasa and H. hippopus were hard to find and T. gigaswasabsences presumably due to local extinction and functional extinction. Protectionof Tridacna in natural habitats is a must to maintain the ecological function and sustainability of Tridacn awith strict and controlled management.

Abstract

The mangrove forest area is an ecosystem with highly productive, with a carbon production rate balanced by tropical wet forests. Global warming is increasingly felt by the world's population which is characterized by global climate change. The obvious impact is greatly felt by rising sea levels. This study aims to determine the total surface biomass and carbon stored in mangroves in Mengkapan village, Sungai Apit Sub-district, Siak Regency, Riau. The method used is a 10 x 10 m square block, making 5 transect lines along the coastline and 5 transect lines along the river line. The results of the study found 10 types of mangroves that make up the study area with calculations of the number of mangrove stands found 3236 stands/ha with a total biomass of 61732.74 and carbon absorption of 113.18 tons C/ha.

Abstract

This study aims to determine and analyze the carrying capacity of that area and to estimate the potency of the fish based on the Net Primary Productivity (NPP) and it was conducted in February 2018. Samplings were conducted 6 times, once/ week. Parameters measured were temperature, brightness, current speed, salinity, N, P, pH, DO, and chlorophyll-a concentration. Data on sea surface temperature, PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation), and chl-a concentration were also obtained from Aqua MODIS provided by NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group. Based on data obtained from the field, the NPP distribution value ranged from 18.27 to 74.98 mg C/m2/day, while the NPP value that was calculated from the Aqua MODIS data was ranged from 2,208 to 3,272 mg C/m2/day.Based on field obtained data, the carrying capacity of the study area, in general, was 97.92 tons and the potency was 48.86 tons. Based on Aqua MODIS data, the carrying capacity was 7,356.02 tons and the potency was 3,678.01. In that area, the amount of T. macrura was around 40% of total capture and it can be predicted that the carrying capacity of T. macrura39.09 tons and the potency was 19.54 tons (based on field data) or the carrying capacity was 2,942.41 tons and the potency was 1,471.20 tons (based on aqua MODIS data). Results of field data-based calculation indicate that the carrying capacity and the potency of T. macrura in the study area was lead to overfishing.Keywords: fish potency,  net primary productivity (NPP), overfishing, migratory fish

Abstract

Tourism Location of Guruh Gemurai Waterfall, Kuansing is one of the most beautiful tourist destinations to visit, which is located in Kuasing Regency, Riau. The study is conducted from September to October 2010. To see the sustainability of this tourist area, research was carried out to identify current environmental conditions. Factors for future development and assessing the ecotourism sustainability of Guruh Gemurai Waterfall using a survey. From the research results, it is found that many factors need to be improved by the management, especially those related to the safety of visitors, especially the stairs and handrails at level 4, the facilities besides being equipped with representative trash cans. It is recommended that the seven levels be managed, then all that is available must be developed again, both the damaged ones and the new ones, which must be remade so that it affects labor absorption. From the leveraging factors, there are six: covering the basic water substrate, water conditions, having protected species, local labor absorption, environmental knowledge, and growth in the number of traders. However, from these six leveraging factors, there are only three factors that can be improved, namely local labor absorption, environmental knowledge, and growth in the number of traders.

Abstract

In Bandar Alai Kari, Kuantan Tengah Sub-district, Kuantan Singingi Regency, Riau, there is a Buaya Lake. According to the history, the Buaya (crocodiles) Lake, used to be a place for river crocodiles to live (an area of approximately 4.5 ha). To obtain data on the value of the lake's conservation status (ecological value), a rapid assessment method is used using the ECELS index. Observations in the field and with the help of drones to observe the components of the ECELS index assessment, the index value is less than 30. From this value it can be concluded that the Bandar Alai Kari crocodile lake is in a very bad conservation status and needs to be restored
