Abstract

Water Buffalo Bubalus bubalis are an essential livestock species in Indonesia. However, mass mortality events have been reported in recent years, highlighting the need for better understanding and management of the causes of these cases. This study presents the first comprehensive retrospective analysis of B. bubalis mortality events in Indonesia between 2010 and 2025. Data were compiled from scientific reports, government records, media coverage, and citizen science platforms. A total of 34 documented events were identified, with most attributed to infectious diseases, particularly Septicemia Epizootica (SE) caused by Pasteurella multocida. Environmental stressors such as floods and droughts, along with parasitic infections like Surra, were also contributing factors. Mortality peaks occurred in 2013 and 2023, each involving hundreds of deaths in single outbreaks. These findings underscore the urgent need for region-specific disease surveillance, vaccination programs, and improved husbandry practices.

Abstract

Combtooth Blennies (Blenniiformes: Blenniidae) are small, cryptic coastal fishes that are often underrepresented in regional ichthyofaunal surveys. Lampung Province, located at the southern tip of Sumatra, encompasses diverse coastal habitats suitable for blenniid fishes; however, information on their occurrence remains limited. Here, we present preliminary records of Combtooth Blennies from Lampung Province, based on field observations and photographic documentation conducted between 2017 to 2025, complemented by verified citizen-science records. A total of seven taxa representing five genera were recorded, including Alticus saliens. Aspidontus taeniatus, Entomacrodus vermiculatus, Istiblennius sp., Istiblennius dussumieri, Salarias sp. and Salarias fasciatus. Records were obtained from multiple coastal districts and habitats, including rocky intertidal zones, shallow reefs and nearshore coastal areas. Istiblennius dussumieri was the most frequently recorded species and was widely distributed across the study area. The findings provide essential baseline data on the distribution of Blenniidae in Lampung Province, emphasizing the importance of targeted surveys alongside citizen-science initiatives for documenting cryptic coastal fish diversity in southern Sumatra.

Abstract

This study reports the first confirmed record of Zenarchopterus gilli from Lampung Province, southern Sumatra, Indonesia, based on field surveys conducted on 7 November 2025 in the Petengoran Mangrove Area, Pesawaran Regency. Several individuals were observed in shallow estuarine waters along mangrove creeks and tidal channels, and species identification was verified through diagnostic morphological characters, including the elongated lower jaw and distinctive modifications of the male anal-fin and dorsal-fin rays. The specimens conform to published descriptions of Z. gilli. Previously, the species had been recorded from northern Sumatra, Java, Bali, Lombok, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Halmahera, Komodo, Maumere and Raja Ampat, but not from Lampung. This new record fills a geographic gap in its distribution in western Indonesia and suggests that the species likely has a broader and continuous coastal distribution across Sundaland, highlighting the need for further surveys in underexplored estuarine and mangrove habitats.

Abstract

This paper documents two rorqual whale stranding events along the eastern coast of South Sumatra, Indonesia, a region where marine mammal records remain scarce. The first event, recorded on 15 January 2021 in Sungai Kong, was identified as a Fin Whale Balaenoptera physalus based on morphological characteristics such as body size and asymmetrical jaw coloration. The individual was successfully refloated and returned to deeper waters. The second event, on 26 February 2026 in Sungai Somor, involved a Bryde’s whale Balaenoptera edeni, identified by the presence of three rostral ridges and characteristic body morphology; despite rescue efforts, the individual later died. Both strandings occurred in shallow, estuarine environments characterized by muddy substrates, mangroves, and strong tidal influences, conditions that may increase stranding risk for large whales. These records provide important baseline data on the occurrence of rorquals in South Sumatran waters and highlight the ecological significance of the region.
