Abstract

Seagrass sampling in this study was carried out using purposive sampling method at 4 research stations. The results of this study were found in 37 species of old seagrass leaves consisting of 9 classes, namely Bacillariophyceae, Mediophyceae, Coscinodiscophyceae, Euglenoidea, Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae, Chorophyceae, Chrysophyta and Xexanauplia. While in young seagrass leaves there are 33 species consisting of 8 classes, namely Bacillariophyceae, Mediophyceae, Coscinodiscophyceae, Euglenoidea, Cyanophceae, Chrysophyta, Dinophyceae and Hexanauplia. The highest periphyton composition in old and young leaves was in the Bacillariophyceae class with a percentage of 67% on young leaves and 70.9% on old leaves. The diversity index value obtained showed moderate distribution criteria because the number of periphyton individuals found in old and young leaves was relatively the same.

Abstract

This research was conducted in May 2021 - January 2022. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of nitrate and phosphate content in water and sediment in the Tanjung Limau estuary, Bontang City, East Kalimantan. Sampling of water and sediment was carried out at 4 research stations using a random method which was then analyzed at the Water Quality Laboratory and Soil Science Laboratory of PPLH Mulawarman University. The results showed that the nitrate content in the water was 0.012-0.018mg/L, 4.20-9.09% in the sediment, while the phosphate in the water was 0.014-0.077 mg/L and the phosphate in the sediment was 0.021-0.030%. The results of the analysis show that the nitrate and phosphate content is higher at Station 1 and lower towards Station 4. There is a significant difference between the nitrate and phosphate content in the water and in the sediment. The content of nitrate and phosphate is mostly sourced from upstream of the river, namely in residential areas and mangrove forests.

Abstract

Southern Velvet Shrimp (Metapenaeopsis palmensis) of the Penaeidae family, morphometric measurements were carried out to see things that affect the shape of the species. This study was aimed to provide information about the morphometric study of red rice shrimp (Metapenaeopsis palmensis) caught at night in Samboja waters, Kutai Kartanegara. This research was conducted in October-November 2021, the sample used was 300 brown rice shrimp (Metapenaeopsis palmensis). The morphometric study used covariance analysis to look at 20 morphometric covariates that affect the total length (PTO). Based on the results of univariate anova test analysis, it is known that 20 morphometrics have a sig <0.05, which means that H1 is accepted, which means it has an effect on PTO. Furthermore, ancova analysis was carried out, 13 morphometric results were obtained which had sig <0.05 for PTO, namely rostrum length (RST), head length (PK), first segment length (PRP), second segment length (PRD), third segment length ( PRT), fourth segment length (PRE), fifth segment length (PRL), sixth segment length (PRN), headless length (PTK), telson length (TLN), carapace button length (PKB), third lower segment length (PTB) ), and the length of the fifth lower segment (PLB).

Abstract

As an area bordering the Makassar Strait, Samboja Kuala District, most of the people make a living as fishermen. The fishing gear used by fishermen to catch shrimp and fish is a trawl. This study aims to identify the types of catches, determine the comparison of the percentage of main and by-catch at night. The method used in this study is a survey method, namely by going directly to the field. The main catches were 8 species of shrimp, namely Penaeus monodon, Penaeus sp, Penaeus merguiensis, Metapenaus affinis, Metapenaus monoceros, Metapenaeopsis palmenis, Metapenaeopsis barbata and Solenocera crassicornis. While the by-catch there are species of fish, cuttlefish and squid. The percentage of the main catch that was dominantly caught was Metapenaus affinis at 61% and the smallest was Penaeus sp 0%. While the percentage of by-catch is the most dominant fish beloso 33% and the smallest is grouper and bigeye fish 1% with a significance value <0.05 (sig. 0.24). The results of this study can show that there are differences in the main catch and by-catch in trawl fishing gear at night.

Abstract

Around Muara Sembilang Waters, the babylon snail population is decreasing. Efforts to manage is an alternative that can be taken in meeting local and export needs by knowing various biological aspects of which includes the relationship length and weight, condition factors, sex ratio, level of gonadal maturity (TKG), gonadal maturity index (GIC), and the ratio of the weight of the meat divided by the total weight by the IKG value. This research was conducted in October – December 2021 using jodang fishing gear. The research method used is purposive sampling. Based on the T test on all samples, the calculated T value (0.71) is smaller than T table (1.969), this indicates that the b value is significantly different from 3 where the growth of the babylon snail is negative allometric which means the length increase is faster than the increase in weight. The sex ratio of babylon snails is not balanced and is dominated by female snails. The TKG and IKG values ​​of the dominant female babylon snails were higher than the male snail. Babylon snails experienced two cycles of gonadal maturity, the first occurred in the 39.11 - 39.51 mm size group with an IKG value of 12.32% and in the 43.31 - 43.71 size group with an IKG value of 11.76%. Allegedly in this size group is the condition of the parent who is ready to experience spawning.

Abstract

There are many activities in and around Balikpapan Bay which is expected to provide input of organic matter and waste containing heavy metals that may accumulate in seagrass. Seagrass is a material that can be used for analysis of heavy metal content and can accumulate these contaminants. This study aimed to analyze the levels of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and Cu) in seagrass (Enhalus acoroides and Thalassia hemprichii) in the waters of Balikpapan Bay. Seagrass samples were taken at two stations with three repetitions. The samples were then dry-destructed prior to heavy metal analysis. Analyses The results showed that the heavy metal content of Pb was higher at Station 2 (dominated by Thalassia hemprichii) in the stem, Cd was higher at Station 1 (dominated by Enhalus acoroides) in the stem, and Cu was found higher on the leaf. Of the Seagrass at Station 2. The levels of Pb in the seagrass have exceeded the quality standard stipulated in KEPMEN No. 51 of 2004.
