Abstract

Coliform bacteria is a one of a kind negative bacteria commonly found in the river aek katia in kabupaten labuhanbatu, the presence of coliform bacteria can be an indicator of biology that is important to know the environmental conditions. This study aims to determine the environmental conditions based on biological indicators in the form of an abundance of coliform bacteria in the river Aek Katia Kabupaten Labuhanbatu. The main ingredient in this study is the river water and sediment. The results obtained are still below the quality standard so that the river aek katia in good condition biologically. The presence of coliform bacteria in the river can affect human and biota. So it needs to be considered in the efforts of the management of the environment of the community , especially in an effort to maintain the sustainability of fisheries resources.

Abstract

District Labuhanbatu selatan has natural/artificial inland waters for various usages. For example, freshwater has supported various activities such as agriculture, plantations, inland fisheries, and ecotourism. This study reports the presence of invasive mollusk in freshwater (Melanoides tuberculata) and terrestrial (Achatina fulica) habitats. This study is the first report regarding the spatial distribution of the three invasive mollusk species in the inland waters of District Labuhanbatu selatan. These invasive mollusks species are a severe threat to the preservation of native species and human health because they are an intermediate host for several types of parasites, such as the trematode group. The spreading and rapid development of these invasive mollusks is caused by their reproductive ability and resistance to poor environmental quality and airborne dispersal factors by birds, water flow, and commercial activities. This invasive species can directly cause huge economic losses as they become a pest inagricultural activities, plantations, and freshwater fisheries (aquaculture). They also can transmit pathogens and displacement of native species. Therefore, it is recommended to have a preventive effort to tackle the expansion of in District Labuhanbatu selatan.

Abstract

The research was conducted with the aim of knowing the condition of the phytoplankton community structure based on diversity index criteria in the waters of Lake Toba, Ajibata District, Toba Samosir Regency. This research was conducted in February -March 2021. This type of research was ex post de facto, carried out at 5 observation stations with 3 repetitions. Phytozooplankton samples were taken using Net plankton No. 25. Identification of phytoplankton was carried out in the Biology Laboratory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Medan State University. Phytoplankton found in 12 genera, namely: Achnantes, Aulacoisera, Encyonema, Claphora, Stigeoclonium, Dictyosphaerium, Staurastrum, Monoraphidium, Oscillatoria, Microcytis, Nostoc, and Chroococcus. The diversity index at Station I was 1.35, II was 1.36, III was 1.31, IV was 1.36, and V was 1.72. The condition of the phytoplankton community structure is stable in the moderate category. The temperature of the waters ranges from 22°C-25°C, the light transparency to the waters ranges from 4-4.5 m, the pH of the waters ranges from 7.36-8.85, the DO of the waters ranges from 6.84-8.25 mg/l, the BOD of the waters ranged from 1.01 to 3.42 mg/l. Lake Toba water quality based on physical and chemical parameters is within the normal range.
