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

The cultivation of white snapper (Lates calcarifer) holds significant economic and ecological potential. This research was conducted at the Loskala Floating Net Cage (FNC) in Lhokseumawe City. The study aims to describe the ecological conditions of the waters and analyze the health profile of white snapper. The method applied was purposive random sampling at three sampling stations. The bioecological assessment indicates that water parameters are generally suitable for white snapper cultivation; however, elevated temperatures, dissolved oxygen levels approaching the minimum threshold, and biological oxygen demand (BOD) exceeding the standard at several stations have the potential to trigger eutrophication. These conditions correlate with the detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio alginolyticus, which indicate risks to fish health as well as food safety.

Abstract

The use of thiosulfate as a chlorine neutralizer in water sterilization for vannamei shrimp hatchery culture is essential for maintaining water quality and minimizing organism stress. Thiosulfate effectively eliminates residual chlorine that may be harmful to cultured shrimp, thereby supporting improved cultivation success. This quantitative combined-method study was conducted at the Aquaculture Wet Laboratory of Universitas Almuslim from August to September 2024. The results showed that salinity in treatments A, B, C, and D was consistently 30‰. The highest pH value was recorded in treatment D replicate 2 (8.16), while the lowest was in treatment A replicate 3 (8.10), with an overall average of 8.12. Water temperature across all treatments ranged from 31 to 32°C. Dissolved oxygen (DO) levels were highest in treatment B replicate 1 (5.44 mg/L) and lowest in treatment A replicate 1 and treatment D replicate 2 (5.20 mg/L). Ammonia concentrations in all treatments and replicates were 0.0 mg/L. The highest chlorine concentration was observed in treatment A replicate 3 (0.10 mg/L), whereas treatments C and D showed 0.00 mg/L across all replicates. Bromine levels were also highest in treatment A replicate 3 (0.18 mg/L), with treatments B, C, and D consistently at 0.00 mg/L. Vibrio density in treatments A, B, and C was 0, while treatment D recorded 2,500 CFU/mL in replicate 1, 2,600 in replicate 2, and 8,000 in replicate 3.

Abstract

Bireuen Regency has the potential for coastal ecosystem resources. There are two Fish Landing Sites (PPI) with very high activity, namely PPI Peudada and PPI Jangka. The high level of activity leads to concerns about pollution, one of which is the presence of lead (Pb) metal. This research aims to assess the characteristics of mangrove areas, seawater samples for heavy metals Pb, and sediments around the coastal fishing port area of Bireuen Regency. The study was conducted in 2024. Research was carried out at two sampling locations of the Fish Landing Sites (PPI), namely the Peudada Fishing Port and the Jangka Fishing Port using purposive sampling methods. At the BARISTAND (Aceh Research and Industrial Standardization Agency) laboratory, samples were analyzed using an AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer). The Pb concentrations in seawater and sediment at first Location (Peudada) were <0.0003 mg/L and 2.60 mg/kg, respectively. At second Location (Jangka), the concentrations were <0.0003 mg/L and 1.78 mg/kg, respectively. Observational results indicate that Pb metal contamination in seawater and sediment at locations 1 and 2 is still below the threshold limit set of Ministry of Environment No. 51 in 2004 and RNO in 1981.

Abstract

Bireuen Regency, located on the eastern coast of Aceh, is rich in natural resources, particularly in marine fisheries. Among these, mantis shrimp are a notable resource, though their population dynamics remain undocumented. Currently, mantis shrimp are considered bycatch by local fishermen, with most being discarded. To address this gap, this study aimed to identify and analyze the morphology and composition of mantis shrimp in the waters of Bireuen Regency. The research was conducted from October 2024 in Gandapura District, employing purposive random sampling at three designated sites. The species identified was Harpiosquilla raphidea. Morphological measurements revealed six body segments: head length (PK), head width (LK), body length (PB), body width (LB), tail length (PE), and tail width (LE). Results indicated that mantis shrimp constituted 50% of the catch, followed by tiger shrimp (25%) and kelong shrimp (25%). The length-weight relationship of mantis shrimp showed a b-value of <3, signifying negative allometry, where growth in length outpaces growth in weight. These findings provide baseline data for further studies on mantis shrimp populations and their potential utilization in sustainable fisheries.

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.
