Abstract

Intensive whiteleg shrimp farming has the potential to degrade water quality through the accumulation of organic matter and nutrients in coastal ecosystems. This study aimed to evaluate differences in water quality between estuarine and marine waters in Bireuen Regency, Aceh, and to associate them with plankton and bacteria as ecological indicators. The research was conducted from July to August 2025 at three estuarine and three marine stations, analyzing physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Results showed that estuarine waters had higher TSS (9–16 mg/L), NH₃ (0.80 mg/L), BOD (4.6–7.1 mg/L), and COD (32–33 mg/L) than marine waters, associated with the presence of Nitzschia spp., Ceratium hirundinella, Brachionus rotundiformis, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. In marine waters, although DO and salinity were more stable, eutrophication indicators included Noctiluca spp., copepods (Acartia, Oithona), V. alginolyticus, and Photobacterium damselae. These findings indicate that estuaries act as pollution hotspots while marine waters are also affected, emphasizing the need for ecosystem-based management of shrimp aquaculture effluents.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the physicochemical characteristics and microbiota communities in the Paya Nie Ecotourism Reservoir as a basis for water quality management for sustainable fisheries cultivation. Sampling was conducted at ten points representing the western, central, and eastern parts of the reservoir. Parameters measured included temperature, clarity, turbidity, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia, phosphate, nitrate, COD, BOD, plankton density, and Escherichia coli. The results showed that most parameters were still in accordance with quality standards (PP No. 22 of 2021), especially pH (7.03–7.97), ammonia (0.001–0.028 mg/L), phosphate (2.6–3.9 mg/L), and nitrate (0.02–2.0 mg/L). However, DO levels at several stations were low (1.67–3.33 mg/L), while COD (500–926 mg/L) and BOD (1.00–2.47 mg/L) exceeded the threshold, indicating a high organic pollution load. The highest E. coli value was recorded at Station X (744.33 CFU/100 ml), indicating contamination from domestic activities. The dominant plankton species were Euglena sp. and Eudorina sp., indicating the waters are classified as productive but potentially eutrophic. The results of this study emphasize the need for waste management, cage density regulation, and routine water quality monitoring to maintain ecosystem balance and support the sustainability of fish farming in the Paya Nie Reservoir.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the concentration of heavy metals, lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), in sediments and oysters (Bivalvia), as well as to examine their relationship with mangrove ecosystem characteristics in Kuala Ceurape (Bireuen) and Udeung Village (Pidie Jaya). Heavy metal concentrations were analyzed using the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) methods, while mangrove species identification was conducted through field vegetation surveys. The results showed that Pb concentrations in sediments ranged from 3.67–15.29 mg/kg with an average of 7.38 mg/kg in Udeung and 8.65 mg/kg in Kuala Ceurape. Cd concentrations in sediments were higher, ranging from 4.69–11.95 mg/kg (average 7.38 mg/kg) in Udeung and 3.54–11.69 mg/kg (average 8.65 mg/kg) in Kuala Ceurape. In oysters, Pb concentrations were recorded at 4.36–9.53 mg/kg in Udeung and 2.16–6.71 mg/kg in Kuala Ceurape, while Cd showed greater accumulation, reaching 17.07–18.13 mg/kg (average 12.71 mg/kg) in Udeung and 1.96–11.21 mg/kg (average 5.16 mg/kg) in Kuala Ceurape. Compared to FAO/WHO and CCME standards, Pb levels in sediments remained below the threshold, but Pb and Cd in oysters and Cd in sediments exceeded safe limits. Vegetation identification indicated the dominance of Rhizophora apiculata, which plays an important role in heavy metal trapping. These findings suggest that mangrove ecosystems function as natural filters of heavy metals, yet bioaccumulation in edible biota such as oysters may pose potential health risks to coastal communities.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue in Aceh Province, including Bireuen Regency, which records a prevalence of 26.5%. One of the main contributing factors is the improper provision of complementary feeding (MP-ASI), particularly regarding nutritional composition and the limited use of local food ingredients. This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of Posyandu cadres in Pante Karya Village to develop locally sourced complementary foods as a strategy to prevent stunting. The methods included education sessions, hands-on MP-ASI preparation training, and post-training mentoring through field visits. The results showed an increase in cadres’ knowledge and skills in designing nutritionally balanced MP-ASI menus, with an average knowledge improvement of 35%. Participants successfully utilized local food ingredients such as fish, tempeh, and vegetables as sources of protein and micronutrients. This program demonstrates that participatory and practical-based training effectively improves cadre capacity and contributes to sustainable stunting prevention efforts at the community level.

Abstract

Bencana banjir dapat memberikan dampak yang signifikan terhadap sektor pertanian serta ketahanan pangan masyarakat, terutama pada wilayah pedesaan yang bergantung pada lahan pertanian sebagai sumber produksi pangan. Salah satu dampak yang terjadi di Desa Pante Lhong, Kabupaten Bireuen adalah rusaknya lahan pertanian akibat endapan sedimen berupa pasir dan lumpur sehingga sulit dimanfaatkan kembali untuk kegiatan budidaya tanaman secara konvensional. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk menerapkan sistem akuaponik sebagai alternatif teknologi budidaya terpadu dalam mendukung ketahanan pangan masyarakat terdampak banjir. Metode kegiatan meliputi identifikasi permasalahan masyarakat, sosialisasi teknologi akuaponik, instalasi sistem akuaponik, serta monitoring dan evaluasi kegiatan. Sistem akuaponik yang diterapkan mengintegrasikan budidaya ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus) dengan tanaman sayuran seperti kangkung, sawi, dan pakcoy dalam satu sistem resirkulasi air. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa ikan nila yang dipelihara selama 30 hari mengalami pertumbuhan yang baik dengan ukuran akhir rata-rata 18,5 cm dan berat sekitar 275 g dengan tingkat kelangsungan hidup sebesar 80%. Tanaman sayuran juga menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang optimal dengan waktu panen relatif singkat yaitu kangkung dua minggu, sawi tiga minggu, dan pakcoy empat minggu. Parameter kualitas air selama pemeliharaan berada dalam kisaran yang sesuai untuk pertumbuhan ikan dan tanaman. Penerapan akuaponik membantu warga mencukupi pangan sendiri sambil belajar cara bertani modern yang efisien.
