Abstract

This study aims to identify phytoplankton species, calculate phytoplankton abundance, diversity index, uniformity index, phytoplankton dominance index, and determine environmental conditions such as temperature, pH, salinity, nitrate, and phosphate in the seagrass ecosystem of Nain Island Waters. Sampling includes seawater for the needs of phytoplankton identification measurement of nitrate and phosphate levels and measurement of water parameters in situ. Phytoplankton sampling is done horizontally using a plankton net. Phytoplankton identification found in the seagrass ecosystem of Nain Island Waters consisted of four classes, namely Bacillariophyceae (Rhizosolenia sp.; Nitzschia sp.; Chaetoceros sp.; Navicula sp.; Eucampi sp.; Pleurosigma sp.; Thalassionema sp.; Melosira sp.), Dinophyceae (Ceratium sp.; Protoperidinium sp.), Chlorophyceae (Spirogyra sp.), and Euglenophyceae (Euglena sp.). The calculation of phytoplankton abundance is in the range of 9 - 51 cells/l. The highest abundance was found at station one which was 51 cells/l, then station three which was 21 cells/l, and station two which was 9 cells//I. The diversity index is in the range of 0.8749 - 1.8668 which means there is community instability. The uniformity index is in the range of 0.2226 - 0.8460, while the dominance index is in the range of 0.2060 - 0.6093, this indicates that the water conditions are stable. Environmental conditions (temperature, salinity, pH, nitrate, and phosphate) in the seagrass ecosystem of Nain Island Waters are still quite good for phytoplankton growth.

Abstract

Sulawesi waters are directly affected by the dynamics that occur in the Pacific Ocean. The ENSO phenomenon that occurs in the Pacific Ocean can also be felt in the waters of the Sulawesi Sea. The dynamics of oceanographic parameters can cause climate change. The extreme impact of climate change is mainly the occurrence of rising temperatures and seasonal shifts. The purpose of this study is to analyze the variability of spatial and temporal anomalous distribution of sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a. This study used monthly AQUA Modis image data, conducted by analyzing the spatial and temporal distribution of sea surface temperatures during the two decades of the period 2003 - 2022. This analysis is based on abnormal values obtained from subtracting parameter values from historical values (the average value of all data). The results of spatial variability analysis of sea surface temperature and chlorophyll –show anomalous variations occur in the western and transitional season periods I, while in the eastern season and transition II positive anomalous values dominate the eastern waters negative anomalies dominate the western waters opposite to chlorophyll – a. This study showed that there was an increase in sea surface temperature slope by 0.000840C / year while in chlorophyll - a there was a decrease in slope by 0.00072mg / m3 / year. Keywords: Spatial, Temporal, SPL, Chlorophyll – a, Climate Change. Abstrak Perairan Sulawesi mendapatkan pengaruh secara langsung dari dinamika yang terjadi di Samudera Pasifik. Fenomena ENSO yang terjadi di Samudera Pasifik juga dapat dirasakan dampaknya di perairan Laut Sulawesi. Dinamika parameter oseanografi dapat menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan iklim. Dampak ekstrem dari perubahan iklim terutama adalah terjadinya kenaikan temperatur serta pergeseran musim. Tujuan penelitian ini Menganalisis Variabilitas distribusi anomali spasial dan temporal dari suhu permukaan laut dan klorofil – a, Penelitian ini menggunakan data citra AQUA Modis bulanan, dilakukan dengan menganalisis sebaran spasial dan temporal suhu permukaan laut selama dua dekade periode 2003 - 2022.

Abstract

Semi-aquatic bugs of the family Veliidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) are primarily associated with freshwater habitats; their occurrence in coastal environments remains poorly documented, particularly in tropical regions. This study reports the first record of Veliidae from the coastal waters of Tasik Ria Beach, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, thereby expanding the known ecological distribution of this family. Specimens were collected from surface-water microhabitats using a sweep net, and key environmental parameters were measured in situ. Morphological identification was based on stereomicroscopic examination of diagnostic characters. Molecular confirmation was obtained through DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, with sequences compared against the GenBank and BOLD databases. Both morphological and molecular analyses confirmed the specimens' taxonomic placement within Veliidae. Their presence in a coastal habitat indicates greater ecological plasticity and habitat tolerance than previously recognized. This finding establishes important baseline data for future research on the distribution, bioecology, and adaptive strategies of semi-aquatic insects in tropical coastal ecosystems.

Abstract

Microplastic contamination in coastal waters is shaped by local human activities and hydrodynamic transport, yet spatially explicit evidence from many Indonesian coastal cities remains limited. This study assessed the spatial variation of microplastic abundance and morphological types in Bitung coastal waters, North Sulawesi, across three stations representing contrasting coastal activity zones: fishing area (Station 1), residential area (Station 2), and port area (Station 3). Surface-water samples were collected in July 2025 using horizontal plankton-net tows over a 10 m transect, with three replicates per station. Laboratory processing included sequential sieving (0.4 mm and 5 mm), oven drying (90°C, 24 h), wet peroxide oxidation (WPO) with fenton reagent, NaCl density separation, and filtration (Whatman 100–250 µm), followed by microscopic classification into fiber, fragment, pellet, film, and foam types. A total of 488 microplastic particles were recorded across all samples. The port station showed the highest abundance (320 particles, mean 106.7 ± 10.2 particles per tow), substantially exceeding fishing (92 particles, 30.7 ± 6.4) and residential (76 particles, 25.3 ± 9.5) stations. Overall composition was dominated by fragments (41.8%) and fibers (35.7%). Type composition differed significantly among stations, with fragments strongly dominating the port station, whereas fibers dominated the fishing and residential stations. These patterns indicate distinct local sources (e.g., shipping/port operations and packaging debris vs. textiles and fishing gear), highlighting the need for targeted waste control and monitoring in Bitung’s coastal zones.

Abstract

Zooplankton are microscopic organisms that play an important role in the marine food chain as primary consumers and as a food source for other organisms. Their presence and composition can serve as indicators of the health of aquatic ecosystems. This study was conducted in the waters of Boulevard II, Manado City, using a plankton net equipped with a cod end. Samples were collected vertically at a depth of 5 m and horizontally along a 10 m transect. Physico-chemical parameters such as temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen (DO) were measured in situ at each station using a Water Quality Monitor. Zooplankton identification was carried out at the Bio-Ecology Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, using a microscope and referring to Illustrations of the Marine Planktons of Japan (Yamaji, 1979) and WoRMS data. The results showed that the zooplankton found belonged to the class Copepoda, e.g. Nauplii, Acartia sp., Oithona sp., and Paracalanus sp.. The highest vertical abundance was recorded at station 1 with 11.51 Ind/L, while the lowest was at station 2 with 6.99 Ind/L. Horizontally, the highest abundance occurred at station 2 with 6.04 Ind/L and the lowest at station 1 with 3.21 Ind/L. These variations were influenced by temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen, which affect the distribution of zooplankton.

Abstract

The research problems addressed in this study were what species of bivalve and what densities each species of bivalves inhabit on the coral reef flats both  Mandolang and Malalayang, North Sulawesi. This study aimed to identify the species of bivalves and the species density of bivalves.  Data were collected using a belt transect method measuring 20 m in length and 1 m in width on both the left and right sides of the transect line at a depth of 3 m. Three belt transects as replicates were deployed at each site of coral reef.  All specimens of bivalves encountered were documented and identified, and species density values were subsequently calculated. The results revealed four bivalve species, namely Tridacna maxima, Tridacna crocea, Ruditapes philippinarum, and Barbatia barbata. T. crocea, T. maxima, and R. philippinarum were identified only in Mandolang, whereas R. philippinarum, B. barbata, and T. crocea were identified in Malalayang. Furthermore, R. philippinarum and T. crocea were found in both Mandolang and Malalayang. Bivalve density in Mandolang varied among species, with T. crocea at 2.67 ind/40 m² (0.07 ind/m²), T. maxima at 1.33 ind/40 m² (0.03 ind/m²), and R. philippinarum at 0.67 ind/40 m² (0.02 ind/m²). Similarly, in Malalayang waters, R. philippinarum showed the highest density at 10.33 ind/40 m² (0.26 ind/m²), while B. barbata and T. crocea exhibited the same average density of 1.33 ind/40 m² (0.03 ind/m²).
