Abstract

The groupers are a group of demersal fish that live in tropical and subtropical areas and are mostly linked to coral reefs. The fish are highly valued in international markets and are subjected to overfishing in the wild. Accurate fish resource identification knowledge is essential for sustainable fisheries management. This research is aimed to generate a reference COI sequence library of grouper species caught in Simeulue and Banyak Islands, Aceh. The study was conducted from April-September 2021 at sixteen fish landing sites in Simeulue and Banyak Islands. In total, this study generated 70 COI sequences representing 20 grouper species. Epinephelus (54%) was the most prevalent grouper genus at the study site, followed by Cephalopholis (19%), Plectropomus (13%), Variola (12%), Hyporthodus (1%), and Anyperodon (1%). According to the IUCN classification, 17 species (85%) fall into the category of Least Concern, two (10%) fall into the category of Vulnerable, and one (5%) falls into the category of Data Deficient. The average genetic distance based on the Kimura-2-Parameter (K2P) between specimens was 0.51% at the species level and 8.34% at the genus level. Overall, this study has provided the COI sequence database of grouper for the Simeulue and Banyak Islands.

Abstract

The southwestern coast of Aceh Province is among the areas vulnerable to heavy metal pollution originating from human activities, including mining, agriculture, and household waste. Chue snails (Faunus ater) are among the aquatic organisms that can be used as a bioindicator of water pollution. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the content of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Mercury (Hg) in F. ater snails originating from seven estuary areas in the southwestern coast area of Aceh Province. Analysis was also carried out to determine the environmental factors affecting metal accumulation and potential risks to public health. Sampling was performed in various areas, including the Jembatan Kembar River (Aceh Singkil), Trumon River (South Aceh), Kuala Lama Tuha (Southwest Aceh), Peunaga Cut Ujong River (Nagan Raya), Suak Ribe Puteh (West Aceh), Teunom River (Aceh Jaya), and Leupung River (Aceh Besar). This study used a laboratory analysis method with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) instruments to measure metal concentrations in F. ater tissue. The results showed that all samples from seven areas were contaminated with Pb, Cd, and Hg at levels ranging from 0.691 - 1.575 mg/kg, 0.285 - 0.311 mg/kg, and 0.001 0.030 mg/kg, respectively. Pb and Cd content showed high heavy metal content, which exceeded the safe threshold according to the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM), Republic of Indonesia, with the greatest concentration found in the Southwest Aceh Regency. These results showed that the consumption of F. ater had the potential to endanger public health. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct outreach to the community to increase environmental awareness and food safety.Keywords:Heavy MetalBioaccumulationEstuaryBioindicatorsFaunus aterSDGs 13SDGs 14

Abstract

Climbing perchAnabas testudineusis a freshwater fish that has economic value and has been cultivated in Indonesia. However, the fish farmers face problems with high-quality larvae supply because the breeding technology for this species is not well developed. Sperm and oocyte storage technology is important information in fish breeding. Therefore, this research aims to determine the best storage temperature using the dry storage method. Six levels of storage temperatures were tested in this study, namely: 29C (room temperature as a control), 8C, 4C, 0C, -4C, and -8C. The oocytes are stored at the treatment temperature for 120 minutes, where every 30 minutes the quality of the oocytes is analyzed based on fertilization and hatchability parameters. The results showed thatstorage temperature had a significant effect on fertility (P0.05) but had no significant effect on hatchability or the normality of larvae (P0.05). The highest percentage of fertility was obtained in treatment B (8C) at 30 minutes, with a value of 50.33%; this value was significantly different with other treatments. The highest hatchability percentage value was also obtained in treatment B (8C) at 30 minutes, with a value of 12%. This value was significantly different in treatments E (-4C) and F (-8C), but not significantly different with treatments A (29C), C (4C), and D (0C) (P 0.05). The directobservations on the normality of the hatched larvae showed that all larvae had a normal morphology. In general, fertility and hatchability rate decrease with decreasing temperatures. Therefore, it is concluded that climbing perch fish eggs stored using the dry method can only be stored for less than 30 minutes, where the recommended temperature was 8C.

Abstract

The Krueng Aceh watershed, vital to Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar, is increasingly threatened by ecological disruption from land-use changes that cause erosion, turbidity, and increased runoff. This study aimed to analyze the quality conditions of the Krueng Aceh River using benthic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators of BMWP-ASPT. The analysis was conducted from March to August 2024 and used a purposive sampling method. Observation stations were distributed at 10 points along the river, representing the upstream, middle, and downstream sections of the river. The upstream and middle sections of the river used surber nets, while the downstream section used PVC pipes to collect benthic macroinvertebrates. The assessment was based on community structure, the Biological Monitoring Working Party-Average Score Per Taxon (BMWP-ASPT) method, and physicochemical parameters of water and substrate. We recorded 29 macroinvertebrate families: 15 are in the original BMWP, and 14 additional families were incorporated to adapt the index. River health showed a clear longitudinal gradient, with upstream good, midstream moderate, and downstream poor, consistent with physicochemical patterns and downstream pressures. It is concluded that BMWP-ASPT is effectively adapted for diagnosing the condition of the Krueng Aceh watershed.

Abstract

Muchlisin ZA, Zulkarnaini B, Purnawan S, Muhadjier A, Fadli N, Cheng SH. 2014. Morphometric variations of three species of harvested cephalopods found in northern sea of Aceh Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 15: 142-146. The purpose of the present studywas to evaluate the morphometrics of three harvested cephalopods, Sepioteuthis lessoniana, Sepia officinalis and Uroteuthis sp. found innorthern sea of Aceh Province, Indonesia. Sampling was conducted for six months from July to December 2012 in one week interval. Atotal of 318 cephalopods; 139 Sepioteuthis lessoniana, 139 Uroteuthis sp. and 40 Sepia officinalis were analyzed for morphometricstudy and 13 anatomical characters were measured to the nearest 0.01 mm using a digital caliper. Morphometric measurements weresignificantly different between the different species of cephalopods (ANOVA, p<0.05). S. officinalis differed in six morphologicalcharacters (head length, head width, tentacles length, gladius width, rancis width and length) from the squid species. Fin width andlength were significantly greater in S. lessoniana than in S. officinalis and Uroteuthis sp. On the other hand, Uroteuthis sp. hadsignificantly greater mantle lengths, standard lengths and gladius lengths than the other two cephalopod species (Duncan Test, p<0.05).However, fin width was similar between S. lessoniana and Uroteuthis sp., while eye diameter was similar between S. officinalis andUroteuthis sp. A Discriminant Function Analysis scatter plot successfully discriminated the three species indicating significantdifferences in morphological variation. This analysis also indicates that morphometrically, S. lessoniana and S. officinalis are moresimilar to each other despite being in different orders.
