Abstract

Microplastics are small particles <5 mm produced from plastic waste. The plastic waste thrown in the sea, As a result, microplastics have increased and are widespread almost throughout the sea surface, including Tanjung Luar Fish Landing and East Lombok Regency. Microplastics are very dangerous for human health due to microplastic contamination in feather clams, which are often consumed by the local community.  Microplastics in the shellfish body can accumulate from the food chain and enter the digestive system. This study aims to determine the presence and characteristics of microplastics in feather clams (Anadara antiquata) at Tanjung Luar Fish Landing, East Lombok Regency. The research method used was descriptive quantitative. Samples of feather clams obtained from Tanjung Luar Fish Landing were separated from their shells. The clam meat was added with 10% KOH to destroy organic matter. The sample was incubated in a water bath until it was homogeneous. The sample was filtered using a 250 µm sieve. The filter results were dried with a dryer at 40˚C. Samples were identified with a microscope. The results showed microplastic contamination in feather clams from Tanjung Luar Fish Landing. Microplastic particles found were 59 particles with fibre types, as many as 47 particles, films 9 particles, and fragments 3 particles; there were 4 types of colours: black, clear, red and green. The dominant microplastics found were of the fibre type. Feather clams contaminated with microplastics harm human health, including metabolic disorders.

Abstract

Echinoderms are one of the main components of marine biodiversity that play an important role in ecosystem function, especially as aquatic detritus. The purpose of this study was to determine the species of Echinoderms found in Lendang Luar Beach, North Lombok District. The study was conducted in July 2022 using the purposive sampling and free sample collection. Based on the research results, found 12 species from 6 families, namely Deadematidae (Diadema setosum, Echinothrix calamaris, and Echinothrix diadema), Echinometridae (Echinometra oblonga and Heliocidaris crassispina), Holothuriidae (Holothuria tubulosa), Ophiocomidae (Ophiomastix annulosa, Ophiocoma erinaceus, Ophiocoma pusilla, and Ophiocoma scolopendrina), Ophiothrichidae (Macrophiothrix longipeda), and Toxopneustidae (Tripneustus gratilla). O. Annulosa, M. longipeda, and T. gratilla species were found in all stations. M. longipeda had the highest number of individuals. T. gratilla has the most extensive microhabitat because it is found in all types of existing microhabitats.
