Abstract

Kijing Taiwan (Anodonta woodiana) is one type of shellfish that live in freshwater, are filter feeders, have high endurance life, and exist in abundant number making Kijing Taiwan can be used as indicators of water pollution that can assist in purifying water. The study is descriptive qualitative, and data is obtained by measuring public perceptions using Likert scale. The later stage begins with determining the respondents. Respondents consist of 27 people from 76 citizen members of the UPR Source Mina fish seed producers and are over 30 years old. The results show that people tend to behave negatively towards Kijing Taiwan by removing and exterminating Kijing Taiwan en masse, as it has been assumed to reduce the cultivation of fish seed. They do not have enough knowledge about the role of Kijing Taiwan leading them to have the wrong perception on the role of Kijing Taiwan in aquaculture ponds. Formulating the strategic management of freshwater aquaculture waters must be done by proposing stakeholders to conduct public education and to convey the results of research on Kijing Taiwan, among other on the role of Kijing Taiwan to help early detection of pollution and as water purifier in aquaculture ponds naturally. Keywords: Benefits of Kijing Taiwan, Public Perception

Abstract

Kijing Taiwan (Anodonta woodiana) is found in water with muddy substrate. Kijing Taiwan lives in bottom waters and is relatively settled. Kijing Taiwan is a filter feeder organism that can filter water and is able to survive in polluted environment, so it can be used as a bio-indicator of a water body. The study was conducted in the Public Hatchery Unit (UPR) Sumber Mina Lestari. Profile hemocytes in Taiwan Kijing influenced by environment pollution inducer among others. Hemocytes were observed consisting of Total Haemocyte Count (THC) and Differential Haemocyte Count (DHC). The results show that the profile of hemocytes (THC and DHC) of Kijing Taiwan is not polluted. Results from aquaculture pond water quality measurements indicate that the indicators of the water quality i.e. temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia are still within normal limits. However, in TOM test, BOD and soil organic matter has exceeded the normal limits. The existence of organic matter became the medium of life for Kijing Taiwan, due to its role as a biofilter among other organic materials. Keywords: Hemocytes Profile, Kijing Taiwan, Water Quality.
