Abstract

Seagrass species thrive in coastal ecosystems and known for their ability to accumulate heavy metals from their surrounding environment. This study aims to evaluate the ecological risks related to the accumulation of heavy metals in seagrass roots, leaves, and sediments. The seagrass examined belong to the genera Cymodocea and Thalassia, collected from two sites: Jeralangan and Cukuh Nyai on Pahawang Island, Lampung, Indonesia. The heavy metals analyzed included Pb, Cu, Ni, and Zn, which were measured using the wet destruction method and quantified with a SHIMADZU AA-7000 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The ecological risk was evaluated through various indices, such as the Bioconcentration Factor (BCF), Translocation Factor (TF), Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo), Contamination Factor (Cf), and Pollution Load Index (PLI). The highest concentrations of heavy metals in sediment were detected at station 1 was Zn (15.486 mg.kg-1). In the roots of Cymodocea was Zn (8.772 mg.kg-1), while the highest concentration in leaves was Cu in Thalassia (10.541 mg.kg-1). The ecological risk assessment revealed that BCF < 1 categorize an excluder, while TF > 1 for Pb and Zn indicate effective translocation from roots to leaves. Additionally, Igeo < 0 signify no contamination, Cf < 1 indicate low pollution levels, and PLI < 0 confirm a non-polluted status. In conclusion, the results show that the seagrass ecosystems at the study sites currently have low levels of heavy metal pollution and minimal ecological risk, suggesting they remain in a relatively safe condition.

Abstract

Mangrove crab (Scylla serrata) as one of the crustacean species, has a variety of bioactive compounds that can be utilized in the field of pharmacology. Antioxidant compounds act as therapeutic agents against degenerative diseases. Banyuasin waters have mangrove vegetation with associated marine organisms that have the potential to be studied for bioactive compounds. This study aims to identify the phytochemical profile quantitatively and qualitatively, samples were collected from mud flats near mangrove ecosystems in Banyuasin waters, South Sumatra. Samples were tested for antioxidant activity using the DPPH test, and IC50 values, qualitative phytochemical identification, and phytochemical profiles were calculated using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Based on the results of antioxidant testing, the IC50 value of S. serrata extract is 2.25 ppm, the sample is included in the category of very strong antioxidants. Phytochemical test results showed that the compound is thought to contain antioxidant activity from flavonoids and triterpenoids. GC-MS analysis detected major compound groups of alkaloids, purines, and vitamins. Minor compound groups detected amines, terpenoids, monosaccharides, amino acids, fatty acids, silanes, formamides, heterocycles, carboxylic acids, aminoglycosides, naphthalene derivatives, nitriles, amides, glycosides, and peptides. S. serrata extract shows very strong antioxidant activity, with major compounds such as alkaloids, purines, and vitamins. S. serrata extract detected compounds that have been reported as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, and antiviral. These findings highlight the pharmaceutical potential of S. serrata as a source of bioactive compounds. The results of this study provide valuable information for the development of alternative medicines derived from marine organisms.
