Abstract

Background: The presence and abundance of phytoplankton are closely related to the physical and chemical parameters of water. Phytoplankton play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems as primary producers and nutrient absorbers. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nitrate and phosphate nutrient content and the abundance of phytoplankton in the Arungkeke Waters, Jeneponto Regency. Methods: This research utilized a combination of field measurements and laboratory analysis. Direct measurements in the Arungkeke waters were conducted to assess surface water parameters, including temperature, salinity, current velocity, transparency, and ph. Water samples were collected for laboratory analysis of phytoplankton composition and abundance, as well as nitrate and phosphate concentrations. Regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between nutrient concentrations and phytoplankton abundance. Findings: The study identified two classes of phytoplankton present in the Arungkeke waters: Bacillariophyceae and Dinophyceae. Oceanographic parameters were measured, with temperature ranging from 28.3°C to 29.7°C, current velocity from 0.039 m/s to 0.073 m/s, salinity from 29.3 ppt to 32 ppt, transparency from 1.9 m to 2.3 m, and ph from 7.3 to 7.4. Nitrate concentrations ranged from 0.042 mg/L to 0.076 mg/L, while phosphate concentrations ranged from 0.046 mg/L to 0.056 mg/L. The regression analysis revealed a moderate relationship between phytoplankton abundance and nutrient concentrations, with an R² value of 0.44. Conclusions: The study concludes that phytoplankton abundance in the Arungkeke Waters is influenced by nitrate and phosphate concentrations, with a moderate correlation observed. The presence of Bacillariophyceae and Dinophyceae classes indicates the ecological significance of these waters as a primary production area. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides valuable insights into the interaction between nutrient dynamics and phytoplankton abundance in the Arungkeke Waters, which is a relatively understudied area. By identifying the classes of phytoplankton present and quantifying their relationship with key nutrients, this research contributes to a better understanding of the ecological processes in coastal waters.

Abstract

This paper provides an explanation of the condition of phytoplankton in the estuary waters of the west coast of South Sulawesi. The study was carried out on four estuaries namely Tallo, Marusu, Polong and Battoe with spatial sampling from inside the estuary to the outside of the estuary. The results obtained were found in three classes, namely Bacillariophyceae class, Cyanophyceae class, and Dinophyceae class with 19 phytoplankton genera. With an abundance of phytoplankton ranging from 352 - 5304 cells / L, the highest abundance is in the Tallo estuary. Meanwhile, the highest diversity index (H ') was found in Tallo estuary and the highest dominance index (D) was in Tallo estuary. Parameters that characterize high abundance estuaries are nitrate and TSS.

Abstract

Culture of ornamental corals applying transplantation technique was aimed to know the successful of this transplantation technique in the ornamental coral culture based on its growth and survival rate of various coral fragments. The location of the medium settlement was in the western side of the waters of Tonyaman Village, Binuang Subdistrict, Polewali Mandar Regency with 3-4 meter depth during low tide. One of coral species i.e. Acropora  sp with 48 fragments was put on 4 transplantation tables. During the experiment, cleaning of fungi and biofouling at the transplant tables and the culture tables. Measurements of the absolute growth and survival rate were done at the 21st day using calliphers and numbers of dead and live fragments were counted directly. Coral transplantation workshop for ornamental coral culture was attended by 4 fisherman groups with total 23 participants. This event was understood by the training participants from the seed selection to the monitoring. Number of coral fragment cultured was 48 fragments obtained from one of stony corals (Scleractania), i.e. Acropora  sp. The range of survival rate that has been cultured for 21 days was adequately high i.e. 91.7 – 100 %. The highest survival rate was observed at the transplant table B, i.e. 100%, whereas, the table A, C, and D were 91.7 %. Average absolute growth of the coral Acropora  sp cultured during this study were ranged from 4.2 – 4.9 mm/month. Aaverage absolute growth was found at table transplant B and C, while the lowest value was observed at the transplant table D.Keywords: cultivation, ornamental coral, transplantation technique, Tonyaman

Abstract

This study was aimed to determine the water quality and seaweed growth and the relationship between  oceanographic parameters and the growth of seaweed Eucheuma cottonii. This research was carried out from June-July 2021 at a seaweed cultivation location in Old Takalar, Mappakasunggu District, Takalar Regency. The seaweed cultivation method used is the longline method placed at three cultivation sites. Oceanographic parameters of physicochemical waters measured were temperature, salinity, pH, brightness, depth, current velocity, tides, nitrate, phosphate and dissolved oxygen. For the measurement of the growth of E. cottonii seaweed, the absolute growth was measured using One Way Anova analysis to determine differences in seaweed growth at each station of E. cottonii cultivation location. The correlation between oceanographic parameters and the growth of E. cottonii seaweed was analyzed using a correlation test. The results showed that the water quality at the cultivation site was within a reasonable range for seaweed cultivation in Old Takalar. The results of One Way Anova showed that there were significant differences in seaweed growth at each station where E. cottonii was cultivated. The results of the correlation test showed that the oceanographic parameters of the waters were very strongly correlated with the growth of E. cottonii seaweed, namely temperature, brightness, and depth.

Abstract

Benthos are invertebrate animals that live at the bottom of the waters. One biota that can be used as a biological parameter in determining the quality of a waters is macrozoobenthos. The waters around the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) are one of the waters that have received a lot of additional organic matter and other pollutant materials through the estuaries of the canals that flow into the waters of Losari Beach. The study was conducted by sampling macrozoobenthos at each station using Ejkman Grab at each station 3 times sampling then sieved using a benthos sieve measuring 1 mm. In addition, measurements of environmental factors were carried out at each station with 3 replications directly in the field and analyzed in the laboratory. The results of the macrozoobenthos sampling study obtained 4 macrozoobenthos classes found at the study site, namely the Gastropod Class (4 species), the Crustacea Class, the Ophiuroidea Class, and the Oligochaeta Class each 1 species. The highest diversity and abundance of macrozoobenthos was found at Station 6 which is suspected because this station has a sandy sediment texture and sediment DOM content and high concentrations of water solubility of oxygen which support the life of makzoobenthos. Macrozoobenthos diversity at the study site (waters around the Center Point of Indonesia) is low with a diversity index (H') value of 0.00 - 0.16. The high abundance of makzoobenthos at Station 5 and Station 6 is characterized by high current velocity, sediment DOM and high oxygen concentration.
