Abstract

Pressure on coastal water conditions in Manokwari caused by human activities can affect the morphometric adaptation of seagrass plants, one of which is Halophila ovalis. The study aimed to analyze the morphometric differences of Halophila ovalis caused by differences in environmental factors on several coastal areas in Manokwari. A total of 20 samples of H. ovalis were taken from each of the beaches studied and then four morphological characters were measured. Morphometric data of H. ovalis between locations were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), then continued with non-multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis. The results showed that there were changes in the morphometrics of H. ovalis from the four research locations. Specifically, it was found that the H. ovalis with the most different morphology came from Rendani Beach. NMDS analysis shows that the morphometrics of H. ovalis on Rendani Beach are separate from  from Yenkarwar, Wosi and Saubeba Beaches. The NMDS model was explain 74.19% of the morphometric diversity influenced by environmental parameters such as water temperature, substrate conditions, pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen levels. We concluded that there had been morphometric changes in the seagrass H. ovalis in several coastal waters in Manokwari.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the use of plants as traditional medicine by indigenous Papuans in the Arfak Mountains. The local population residing in the villages of the Arfak Mountains primarily consists of the Arfak tribes, including the Hatam, Sough, and Meyah. These communities have traditionally relied on local plants to address various health issues. The research employed a descriptive method, incorporating interviews and direct field surveys. Respondents were selected based on their extensive knowledge of medicinal plant use. The results revealed that 20 plant species are utilized by the local population to treat a range of health conditions. These include coughs, colds, fevers, flatulence, itching, boils, malaria, external wounds, hypertension, body aches, internal pain, lumps, fertility issues, facilitation of childbirth, and ailments attributed to witchcraft. Some plants are used individually, while others are combined with different plants. Processing methods include mashing, boiling, or squeezing to extract the liquid. Utilization methods involve drinking, chewing and swallowing the juice, or applying it to affected areas. The plant parts used include leaves, stems, tubers, and flowers.

Abstract

Lichens are symbiotic association between fungi (mycobionts) and photosynthetic partners (phycobiont) that play essential ecological roles as bioindicators, pioneers in succession, and contributors to nutrient cycling. Despite their importance, the diversity and morphology of lichens in West Papua remain poorly documented. This study aimed to assess the morphology diversity of lichen taxa in Amban Regency, Manokwari, West Papua. The method used was explorative surveys with purposive sampling in Amban Regency (site I, II, and III) based on low, moderate, and high air quality. Lichen identification was based on morphological characteristic. The results showed that there were 27 species lichens belong to 12 genera and 8 families Chrysothrichaceae, Coenogoniaceae, Collemataceae, Graphidaceae, Megalosporaceae, Parmeliaceae, Physciaceae, and Strigulacea. The dominant species were from the families of Graphidaceae. Crustose lichens dominated (74%), foliose lichens (18%), with filamentous and leprose (4% each), while fruticose types were absent. Crustose lichens exhibited strong substrate adhesion and tolerance to variable microclimatic conditions with temperatures between 26,1-29,3°C, whereas foliose and filamentous forms were confined to more stable, and humid habitats between 72,0-85,4%. Continued surveys are recommended to monitor potential shifts in community composition under climate change and habitat disturbance.

Abstract

Papua has a high level of species diversity and endemism. This community service activity (PKM) is motivated by the decreasing of Papua's biodiversity due to anthropogenic activities and global warming, so it is necessary to make efforts to increase public awareness, especially among the children about the concept of protection, management, and use wisely and sustainably for Papua's diversity. Therefore, we carried out socialization about the Papuan animals and their conservation status to students at SMA Negeri 1 and SMA YPPK St. Arnoldus Jansen in Bintuni Bay District, West Papua Province on 10-11 December 2021. Socialization activities involve lectures, questions, and answers, filling out questionnaires, and giving rewards. The results showed that 61.54% of participants did not know the conservation status of animals in Papua based on Indonesian and international regulations. In addition, as many as 87.18% of participants stated that some animals in Papua were sold in the market and participants also consumed some of these animals. However, the participants' desire to protect Papua's animals is quite high (94.87%).

Abstract

Kerang Gafrarium pectinatum, dengan nama lokal mambekorai, ditemukan pada ekosistem mangrove di pesisir Manokwari Selatan, Papua Barat. Sampai saat ini, spesies kerang ini masih dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat setempat sebagai makanan. Penelitian mengenai populasi kerang G. pectinatum di lokasi ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pola pertumbuhan dan parameter pertumbuhan yang meliputi panjang asimtotik (Lµ), koefisien pertumbuhan (K), dan perkiraan umur (t0). Sampel kerang dikumpulkan pada tiga zona (bagian bawah, tengah, dan atas) dengan menggunakan metode transek dan kuadrat. Pada setiap sampel kerang dilakukan pengukuran panjang cangkang dan berat total. Sebanyak 194 individu kerang berhasil dikumpulkan. Ukuran panjang cangkang dan berat total secara berturut-turut berkisar di antara 19,6-44,1 mm dan 2,15-30,74 g. Nilai b yang diperoleh sebesar 0,7214 dengan pola pertumbuhan alometrik negatif yang menunjukan bahwa pertambahan panjang cangkang lebih cepat dibandingkan berat totalnya. L∞, K dan t0 secara berturut-turut sebesar 45,94 mm, 0,96 tahun-1, dan -0,15 tahun. Hasil penelitian diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan dalam memantau perubahan kondisi populasi kerang, sehingga upaya pengelolaannya dapat berlangsung dengan baik dan keberadaan sumber daya hayati ini dapat dipertahankan.

Abstract

Nusmapi Island, located in Doreri Bay, Manokwari Regency, West Papua Province, is exposed to various anthropogenic activities that may introduce pollutants transported from the mainland. Fish are commonly used as bioindicators of aquatic pollution due to their ability to accumulate contaminants through food webs. This study was conducted on Nusmapi Island from June to August 2020 to examine differences in lead (Pb) concentrations among fish species and trophic groups. Fish samples represented two trophic groups: carnivores and herbivores that feed on algae and seagrass. Pb concentrations in fish muscle were analyzed using a Shimadzu AA-6880 atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results showed that the average Pb concentration in the carnivorous group was 0.88 mg/kg, while the herbivorous group exhibited a higher average concentration of 1.13 mg/kg. The highest Pb concentration was recorded in Siganus spinus (1.34 mg/kg), whereas the lowest concentration was found in Neoniphon sammara (0.27 mg/kg). Elevated Pb levels in sediments and seagrass around Nusmapi Island may exert continuous environmental pressure on marine biota. As Pb concentrations in these environmental compartments exceed threshold levels, they may serve as major sources of contamination entering the food chain, increasing the toxicological risk for fish occupying higher trophic levels. Keywords: heavy metal Pb, bioaccumulation, Doreri Bay   Abstrak Pulau Nusmapi merupakan daerah yang berada di kawasan Teluk Doreri Kabupaten Manokwari yang merupakan daerah yang terdampak akibat padatnya berbagai aktivitas dari daratan yang ditransport secara langsung maupun tidak langsung. Ikan merupakan organisme yang sering digunakan sebagai bioindikator untuk menilai tingkat pencemaran suatu perairan. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Juni - Agustus Tahun 2020. Sampel ikan yang diambil terdiri dari dua kelompok trofik, yaitu karnivora dan herbivora yang memakan alga dan lamun. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah menguji perbedaan konsentrasi Pb berdasarkan spesies dan kelompok trofiknya guna memahami distribusi polutan di wilayah tersebut. Daging ikan sebanyak 30 g hingga 50 g diambil pada bagian punggung, selanjutnya daging ditimbang lalu dibungkus dengan aluminium foil. Daging ikan di destruksi dan dianalisis dengan atomic absorbtion spectrophotometer (AAS). Konsentrasi Pb pada kelompok karnivora adalah sebesar 0,88 mg/kg, sedangkan pada kelompok herbivora sebesar 1,13 mg/kg. Konsentrasi tertinggi ditemukan pada Siganus spinus (1,34 mg/kg), sementara konsentrasi terendah pada Neoniphon sammara (0,27 mg/kg). Mengingat logam Pb telah melampaui ambang batas pada sedimen dan lamun akan menjadi sumber utama polusi yang masuk ke dalam rantai makanan dan pada akhirnya menempatkan ikan sebagai tingkat trofik yang lebih tinggi pada posisi rentan secara toksikologis. Kata kunci: logam berat Pb, bioakumulasi, Teluk Doreri

Abstract

Daun gatal (Laportea decumana (Roxb.) Wedd.) is a medicinal plant traditionally used by local Papuan communities as a physical therapy to relieve fatigue, muscle pain, and body aches. However, the ecological aspects of its cultivation remain poorly understood. This study aimed to compare the leaf morphological variables of daun gatal cultivated under shaded and unshaded conditions. Field observations were conducted alongside leaf morphometric analysis and examination of leaf trichome characteristics to strengthen the analytical results. The findings indicated that air temperature, air humidity, and sunlight intensity were positively correlated (~0.80) with plant height, leaf area, trichome length, and trichome density in plants grown under shaded conditions. Meanwhile, plant height and stem diameter did not differ significantly (P>0.05) between shaded and unshaded treatments. In contrast, leaf length, leaf width, and leaf area showed significant differences (P<0.05) between the two treatments. Trichomes of plants grown in shaded habitats were significantly longer than those in unshaded habitats (P<0.05). Trichome density exhibited a similar pattern, being higher in shaded areas than in unshaded areas, although the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Overall, this study demonstrates that the daun gatal exhibits morphological adaptations to variations in light intensity within its habitat, providing an important scientific basis for the effective management and optimal cultivation of Laportea decumana in Manokwari Regency.
