Abstract

Sea turtle populations have declined due to habitat destruction and the widespread collection of eggs for commercial purposes. This study assessed the characteristics and suitability of semi-natural hatchery habitats for Olive Ridley Sea Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) at Batu Hiu Beach, Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia, from June 1-July 31, 2023. The survey method and purposive sampling were employed to determine nesting sites based on turtle landing points.Biophysical habitat measurements were analyzed descriptively and statistically using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test to compare sand temperature, sand humidity, and air humidity. An L. olivacea landed at site 4, laying 73 eggs in a natural nest with 34 cm nest depth and 24 cm nest diameter. Semi-natural nests measured 37 cm nest depth and 26 cm in nest diameter. The sand type at Batu Hiu Beach was characterized by black sand grains and fine sand substrate with a percentage of 51.02%. The temperature within the hatchery ranged from 25.3°C to 42.1°C.  with average of 29.7 ± 1.88 °C.The sand humidity in the hatchery ranged from 2% to 14%, with an average daily humidity of 10 ± 0.22 %. The air humidity within the hatchery ranged from 56% to 94%, with a daily average of 85 ± 0.05 %. Based on all the analyzed parameters, the hatchery at Batu Hiu Sea Turtle Preservation were suitable with the nest criteria by Technical Guidelines for Sea Turtle Conservation Management by DKP for the hatching of L. olivacea eggs, with a hatching success rate of 85%.Keywords: Lepidochelys olivacea, temperature, humidity, sand type, hatching success

Abstract

Indonesia covers over 15% of global tuna production. This has placed Indonesia as the top tuna-producing country in the world. Troll line is one of the fishing fleets that targets tuna as main catch, operates in many areas in Indonesia, including those bases at Palabuhanratu Nusantara Fishing Port in Sukabumi. Fishermen complained about uncertain changes of the fishing season in recent years. This causes fishermen unable to determine the right time for fishing. Some trolling fishermen suffer losses and even bankruptcy. This study tried to estimate fishing season for trolling fleets based on three main catch commodities: skipjack tuna, yellowfin tuna, and bigeye tuna. Data on catches and fishing trips are collected monthly from 2018 to 2022 from the Sukabumi Regency Central Capture Fisheries Statistics Agency. Data was processed using a catch-per-unit effort approach followed by a fishing season index analysis. Results show that the three main catch commodities have similar fishing season patterns. Peak fishing season is from the beginning of the east season in June to the middle of the second transition season in October. Productivity of the three commodities reached its lowest point in the lean season in January and February, in the middle and end of the west season.Keywords: catch composition, fishing season, productivity, tuna

Abstract

The appearance of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) is related to the availability of food in a water area, and it has become a tourist attraction which requires integrated management to prevent it from becoming threats to whale sharks. The appearance of whale sharks is regular throughout the year with the highest number of individuals occurring only in Kwatisore waters. This study aims to examine the bio-ecology of whale sharks related to their appearance based on individuals, quantity, time of appearance, and sex. Primary data collection carried out from January 16 to March 26, 2023, using a census method on 4 units of fishing lift-net deployed in Kwatisore waters. The results showed that 21 individual whale sharks appeared with a total of 225 occurrences in January, 245 occurrences in February, and 248 occurrences in March. There was also one new individual that migrated into Kwatisore waters with the ID number 184. Whale shark appearances mostly happened in the morning and the appearance percentage was 100% male with a total length ranging from 3 to 7.5 m. Environmental factors in Kwatisore waters were in normal conditions supporting the appearance of whale sharks. Keywords: Whale sharks, appearance, new individual, environmental factors

Abstract

In order to overcome the decline of pond carrying capacity due to intensification, polyculture of Penaeus monodon with Gracilaria sp. can be implemented to allow sustainability. This study aimed  to evaluate the effect of shrimp densities in a polyculture system with Gracilaria sp. on the shrimp’s survival rate and growth. The research design used in this study was Randomized Block Design (RBD) in triplicate with 3 treatments of stocking density (2, 3, and 4 ind/m2). This research was carried out for 90 days in extensive ponds with 0% use of artificial feed. At the end of the study, the results showed that different stocking density applied had no significant effect (p>0.05) on growth performance. Nonetheless, shrimp at a stocking density of 2 ind/m2 had the highest survival rate (30.30±1.48%) compared to other treatments. Higher shrimp density causes competition for space, food, and oxygen which leads to stress resulting in suppressed growth of shrimp. However, Gracilaria integration in shrimp polyculture effectively reduces nutrient loads and stabilize water quality (temperature, pH, salinity, and DO), leading to improved shrimp health and a decreased need for chemical inputs, offering a practical, eco-friendly solution for maintaining shrimp growth in such a denser environment.Keywords: algae, aquaculture, bioremediation, coastal, integrated

Abstract

Acanthocephala is a parasite commonly found in the digestive tract of fish. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and mean intensity of Acanthocephala infecting the shortfin scad (Decapterus macrosoma) caught from the southern coast of Yogyakarta and to identify those parasites by morphological approach. A total of 221 samples of fish were obtained from local fishermen operating in fishing grounds along the southern coast of the Indian Ocean in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The fish samples were measured for total length (TL) and weight and dissected to examine for the presence of Acanthocephala. Parasite samples were collected from the digestive tract of shortfin scad and preserved in absolute ethanol for further identification. Data analysis focused on calculating prevalence and mean intensity of infection. The results showed that the prevalence of Acanthocephala infection was 16.3%, with a mean intensity of 1.9 larvae/host. Both the prevalence and the mean intensity tended to increase with increasing fish length. Most of the shortfin scad (75%) was infected with Acanthocephala at a relatively low intensity (1-2 larvae/host). The highest intensity of Acanthocephala infection was 13 larvae/host and was only found in one fish. Morphological identification indicated that the genus infecting shortfin scad was Acanthocephalus (Koelreuther, 1771). Keywords: Acanthocephalus, biological tag, morphology, parasite, prevalence

Abstract

The littoral zone is the most vulnerable area to the impacts of climate change and human activities. Current weather anomalies and the development of human activities in coastal areas are on the rise. Remote sensing and geographic information system approaches have been widely used to monitor shoreline changes using easily accessible satellite imagery. This study aims to identify the dominant factors driving littoral change at Bantul Beach and assess the relationship between tourism activity and coastal abrasion. This study uses the Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis method using Landsat-8 satellite imagery from 2013 to 2023. In monitoring shoreline changes, NDWI and DSAS analyses were conducted to identify factors influencing coastal changes. A study was also conducted to examine the parameters of the coastal profile, wind, waves, tides, and human activities. Based on 10 years of image data, the study location has generally experienced high abrasion, with an average EPR value of -1.51 m/year, an average SCE value of 47 meters, and a dominant negative NSM value. The most influential factors are the slope of the shoreline and waves, especially during high waves or storms. The increase in the number of tourists in Bantul Yogyakarta tourism spots is not linearly correlated to the occurrence of abrasion. There needs to be coastal protection and mitigation that prioritizes the dominant factors causing abrasion, utilizing a soft engineering approach and local wisdom.Keywords: Shoreline changes, Tourist Coastal Areas, DSAS, Landsat-8, Bantul Yogyakarta
