Abstract

One of most potential activity regarding fisheries business in Pangandaran Regency is seafood restaurants which holds prospect for tourists. However, there are still many restaurants that sell conservationally-important biota. The purpose of this study is to identify the conservation status of marine biota sold in restaurants in Pangandaran Regency. Data was collected by observation or direct survey by purposive sampling in six seafood restaurants. The fish species were then identified for their conservation status based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The identification results show that there were biotas included in the IUCN which were Lanjaman Shark (Carcharhinus sealei) with IUCN Appendix II CITES status, Black Fin Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) with IUCN Near Threatened (NT) status and Mobula Stingray (Mobula eregoodootenkee) with Endangered status. The results of this study indicated that conservation efforts need to be strengthened.

Abstract

The problems of shrimp farming with semi-intensive systems are leftover feed, organic matter, and toxic compounds that can reduce water quality. Shrimp pond wastewater treatment can be done through several technologies, such as chemical, physical, and biological treatment. One of biological treatment that widely used for wastewater treatment is bioremediation. Bioremediation is a biological process that utilizes microorganisms to decompose waste in aquaculture ponds into compounds that are not harmful to aquatic biota. Therefore, this researchaims to determine the effect of effective microorganism-4 (EM4) in reducing ammonia compounds and BOD levels in shrimp pond wastewater. The research method used is a laboratory-scale experimental method. A total of6aquariums were used for 3 different treatments with two replications, control, adding EM4 2.5% and EM4 3% into 5 L of wastewater. Thewater quality parameters observed were dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, ammonia, and BOD. Theone-wayANOVA test was used in this study. The results showed that there was a decrease in ammonia and BOD levels. The highest reduction of ammonia was found in the treatment with the addition of EM4 2.5%.The decrease in BOD with the highest effectiveness was found in the control treatment (37.73%)with the initial BOD value 5.3to3.3. mg/l, which fulfilled the allowed maximum level ofstandard of Ministerial Decree No. KKP. KEP.28/MEN/2004 concerning General Guidelines for Shrimp Cultivation in Ponds. In conclusion, the small dosage addition of EM4 did not have a significant effect on decreasing levels of ammonia and BOD.
