Abstract

Macrophytes are plants that adapted to wet environment and easily be found all over the world. Macrophytes have structures that are more complex, interdependent and physically substantial; make them one of the important components of rivers, lakes and any other wetland ecosystems. Macrophytes can be categorized into four different types; emergent, floating-leaved, submerged and free-floating plants based on their structure and life form. Light, water current and wind flow are among the most important limiting factors of macrophytes occurrence in the water system. Environmental conditions such as lotic and lentic environment influence the limiting factors and would be the key for successful macrophytes distribution. Each macrophyte species could respond differently to different environmental circumstances. It also has been widely used as subject for biological indicator of ecosystem health. This paper aimed to describe the general environmental condition for macrophytes distribution, discuss their role and impact of excessive growth.

Abstract

With a surface area of 15, 200 ha, the Temengor Reservoir, in the northwestern state of Perak was selected among other lakes in Malaysia for the development of a large tilapia aquaculture facility in 2008 due to its favourable environmental conditions.  Tilapia has never been recorded at Temengor Reservoir prior to the establishment of this facility. However, preliminary observations in a previous study detected tilapia species in the natural waters of this lake, strongly suggesting these were escapees from the floating cages which had invaded the natural waters. Following that, a study was conducted to assess the distribution of these escapees throughout the Temengor Reservoir. The cultured tilapias are easily recognizable with elongated mouth and body, and long caudal fin. The sampling was conducted using gill nets. The distribution of the escaped tilapia throughout the Temengor Reservoir was mapped based on previous data and current data on the fish checklist conducted at different sampling points of this lake, and the occurrence (presence/absence) of escaped tilapia was recorded. A comparative analysis was conducted at several number of points among three sampling areas, according to the radii from the fish cage facility; <5km (S1), 5-15km (S2), and >15km (S3). The ANOVA showed significant differences (p<0.05) in Catch per Unit Effort (CPUE) weight between the three sampling areas. As tilapia is a highly successful global invasive species, the presence of tilapia at these and other locations at Temengor Reservoir should be rigorously monitored. Complete eradication of tilapia in the lake is of high urgency. We recommend intensive targeted fishing of the species in the vicinity of the cages and biological control by native predators to preserve and conserve the native fish species at Temengor Reservoir.

Abstract

The Gunung Leuser National Park (GLNP) area, among others, consist of tropical lowland-forest ecosystems that becomes the habitat of Sumatran orangutans (Pongo abelii). The GLNP is located at Aceh dan North Sumatra Provinces and lies on 830,268,95 hectares of land. To date, the area is not free from the pressure of forest degradation, such as encroachment and land conversion to plantations. This is a perturbing condition, especially concerning the biodiversity in its lowland-forest ecosystem. The vegetation composition that renders the succession of Sumatran orangutans in the GLNP lowland-forest was obtained by conducting vegetation analysis on the restoration sites in the forest. The analysis method adopted on this research was the grid-path method. Two transect lines, 1,000 metres each, were made for this purpose. Each line consisted of 10 plots with a distance of 100 metres between plots. The measurements were made on the growth rate of seedling, sapling, pole, and tree. The data were then processed to determine the Important Value Index (IVI), Diversity Index, Richness Index of vegetation, and Dominance Index of the research area. The results showed that the vegetation composition that rendered the succession of lowland-forests of GLNP consisted of 58 species and 26 families. Ficus fistulosa had the highest IVI at the growth-stages of seedling and sapling. And Macaranga tanarius had the highest IVI at the growth-stages of pole and tree. The species Diversity Index (Shannon-Wiener index) of the vegetation on the restoration site in lowland forests of GLNP showed moderate values at the growth-stage of seedling and pole, and high values at the growth-stages of sapling and tree. The Richness Index of vegetation showed moderate values at the growth-stages of seedling and pole. As for at the stages of sapling and tree, it showed high values. The Dominance Index of the restoration site in lowland forests of GLNP showed high values at all growth-stages.
