Abstract

Gaining extensive knowledge of prey sources is an essential approach for understanding trophic structure and relationships, especially in highly diverse coral reef ecosystems. Groupers are a major Asian reef fish commodity, making it important to study grouper prey and the trophic relations involved. The wide distribution of groupers across different environments could lead to distinctive predatory behaviour. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate and compare the taxonomic classification and composition of prey in the diets of two common groupers (Epinephelus areolatus and E. malabaricus) based on DNA metabarcoding of stomach contents and potential prey detection using environmental DNA tools at sites in the coral reefs of Raja Ampat, Indonesia. DNA recovered from the water column comprised taxa from the Arthropoda, Chordata, Cnidaria and Mollusca, several of which were also found in grouper guts, with Cnidaria the most abundant class. Diversity was high for potential prey species in the environment and prey consumed by each grouper species. The high overlap in prey identified from gut contents indicates these two epinephelids have a similar feeding strategy. However, nMDS ordination showed segregation between the prey consumed by each species and potential prey available in the environment. The results indicate a low likelihood of competition between the two grouper species, related to the abundance and wide choice of potential prey in the highly biodiverse Raja Ampat coral reef ecosystem.

Abstract

Halophila major is a new species with a wide distribution across various regions in Indonesia. The species was identified in 2020 through a combination of morphology and molecular approaches. Several studies have shown that it has a similar morphology to H. ovalis, which causes significant confusion during identification. Therefore, this study aims to describe the key identification and habitat of H. major and summarize seagrasses study opportunities based on the trend of published articles. A bibliometric analysis was used to summarize the habitat, morphometrics, molecular confirmation, and trend of seagrass topics in Indonesia. Based on the scientific articles, H. major has bigger morphometrics than H. ovalis. In addition, the number of paired and branching cross veins was reported to be an identification key of H. major. The species was also considered a deep ovalis found in 2-4 m depth. Genetically, the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) gene marker was appropriate to showits phylogenetic tree. H. major was also classified into different clades with H. ovalis due to various factors. The results showed that genetics, tourism, and restoration were topics with the potential to be explored in the future. This study recommended collaborating in multi-institution to transfer knowledge, technologies, and project arrangements for seagrass exploration.Keywords:BibliometricHalophilaMarine angiospermaeMarin plantRediscoverySpecies

Abstract

The Halmahera Walking Shark (Hemiscyllium halmahera) is an endemic species in the Halmahera Sea. Information related to the environment in general has not been described in a complex manner. The environment is the main factor to support the life of biota. Environmental characteristics are a determining factor in the sustainability of biota. The study aims to provide information related to the physical environment of the habitat of the H. halmahera species. Primary data collection was carried out directly (in situ). Current data was taken using the Lagrange method using a currents drogue. Tides using tidal palms and observed for 24 hours. Secondary data was taken from Marine Copernicus and the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG). All data were tabulated and analyzed by Ocean Data View (ODV) software. The results of the study found that the surface current velocity was found to be in the fast current category. Current speed descriptively provides information on the life of H. halmahera. Primary data shows that the direction of the surface current moves to the east and north. Secondary data in vertical distribution shows weak zonal and meridional current shifts. The tidal pattern was found to be two high and low tides (semidiurnal). The distribution of surface temperature was found to be around 30-32oC. The vertical temperature profile found three layers, namely 1-13m (30oC), 65m (25oC) and 71m (20oC). The chemical environment showed all normal variables. The physical and chemical environmental conditions support H. halmahera to inhabit the sea area of Morotai Island. The environmental description has provided a brief understanding of how the ecological role of the H. halmahera species. Management and sustainability of the environment in the future due to climate change can be done with information on habitat characteristics.Keywords:coral triangleHalmaheranicheNorth Malukutropical

Abstract

The South Halmahera Islands feature a comprehensive marine coastal ecology. The ecosystems found were seagrass, mangrove and coral reef ecosystems. The components that sustain the existence of this ecosystem are employed equitably because of its geographical location on the equator. Mangrove ecosystems that provide benefits directly and indirectly to the community. The purpose of this study was to determine the condition of the mangrove ecosystem based on the hemispherical photography method and the type of zonation. Tawabi Island, Kayoa, South Halmahera Regency served as the site of the equator research. The research station is determined as many as 3 stations. Mangrove percent cover canopy using the hemispherical photography and transect quadrant for density. Field data gathering procedures with transects drawn perpendicular from the sea to the land. Zonation characteristics and thickness using zone tracking. Density mangrove using ecology analysis and zonation using canvas 9.0. The results of the research founded were Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata and Sonneratia alba. Mangrove percent cover canopy were good category (75-81%), where station I (75%), station II (81%) and station III (77%). Station I having 600 trees per ha, station II having 500 trees per ha, and station III having 400 trees per ha (low density category). Mangroves were found in 3 zones Sonneratia alba, Rhizophora apiculata and Rhizophora mucronata. The mangrove thickness from sea to land at station I (65 meters), station II (69 meters) and station III (42 meters).Keywords:biodiversitycoastalequator lineHalmaheratropical
