Abstract

Rupat Strait related to the Strait of Malacca is a national and international shipping lane and makes the region affected by anthropogenic activities that result in a decrease in the quality of the waters such as the increasing amount of heavy metal content. The most easily contaminated organism of heavy metals is bivalves due to and its low mobility, bivalves being filter feeders, and the ability to accumulate contaminants,. The purpose of this study was to look at genetic changes in bivalves (P.acutidens) contaminated by heavy metals. The study was conducted from February to March 2021. Bivalve sample was collected from the waters of Rupat Strait and sample analysis was conducted in the Marine Biology Laboratory and Genetics Laboratory of Riau University. Bivalve DNA is isolated with Geneaid Tissue Genomic DNA Mini Kit. DNA isolation results were then carried out PCR process and sequencing process was carried out in PT. Genetika Science Indonesia. The results of study show that sequencing results obtained by samples derived from Selinsing have the most changes in the composition of nitrogen bases compared to samples from the other two stations

Abstract

Guava leaves can be utilized as feed additives and medicine for aquaculture. Limiting factors in aquaculture, including stocking density, and salinity can cause stress in fish, so they are easily infected with disease. This study was conducted to determine the effect of guava on the blood glucose of carp reared in brackish water media. This research was conducted from August to September 2023 at the Marine Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine, Universitas Riau. The method used in this study is an experimental method using a completely randomized design with 5 (five) treatments and 3 (three) replicates, the treatments are T0 (control), T1 (1.0g), T2 (1.5g), T3 (2 g), and T4 (2.5g). Carp measuring 5.00 ± 1.00 cm with a weight of 4.00 ± 0.50 g were obtained from farmers in the Koto Panjang hydroelectric reservoir, Sumatra, Indonesia. Fish rearing was carried out for 60 days. The results showed that the provision of guava leaves in the feed affected the blood glucose levels of carp. The dose of 1.5 g/100g feed (T2) was the optimal dose in increasing the blood glucose of carp reared in brackish water media and infected with A. hydrophila bacteria

Abstract

Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is the main component of dispersants that function as cleaners of various materials. The increasing use of LAS causes this compound to dominantly pollute coastal waters. Phytoremediation is the most environmentally safe alternative to physical and chemical methods. One of the potential plants as a phytoremediator is Rhizophora mucronata. This research is an experiment as an application of LAS pollutant control by R.mucronata plants in waters. After acclimatization and preliminary tests, the implementation of LAS phytoremediation tests by R. mucronata plants in seawater media was carried out at concentrations of A1: 25 mg/L, A2: 100 mg/L, A3: 175 mg/L, A4: 250 mg/L, and A5: 325 mg/L and control (Control without plants) as a simulation of the presence of pollutants in coastal waters. The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with one treatment and 3 replications. The reduction of LAS concentration in the test media and its effect on R.mucronata leaf chlorophyll and dissolved oxygen were analyzed at week 2 to week 4. The analysis results showed that LAS compounds could be reduced to 91.48% at week 2 and 97.40% at week 4. Plant Water quality parameters (dissolved oxygen, temperature and pH) were measured daily. Based on the study results, LAS can be reduced by R.mucronata plants 87-90.4% in week 2 and 95.1-97.4% in week 4. LAS exclusion by plants had a significant impact on the reduction of leaf chlorophyll content until week 4. LAS reduction by R.mucronata in the media can increase dissolved oxygen content as an indication of improved water quality. R.mucronata plants can be used as an alternative to control LAS pollution in waters
