Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different freezing and thawing methods on physical, chemical, and sensory characteristics of red shrimp (Aristaeomorpha foliacea). Shell-on and shell-off shrimps were subjected to three different freezing (blast freezing, still freezing and cryogenic freezing) and thawing (on air, in refrigerator and in microwave oven) methods and stored for 30 days at -18ºC. Quality control analyses were carried out in samples after thawing. The lowest total volatile nitrogen and trimethylamine contents, pH values and cooking losses were found in cryogenically frozen shrimp, compared with other freezing methods.  However, cryogenic freezing caused colour fading and softening in texture. It was determined that microwave thawing conditions used in this study are not suitable for thawing of frozen shrimp as it negatively affects texture and colour and increases cooking loss. It was found that blast freezing, and thawing methods preserved the physical, chemical and sensory properties of shrimp better than other methods.Keywords: Aristaeomorpha foliacea; Freezing; Red shrimp; Shrimp quality

Abstract

Diadema setosum, a Red Sea migrant, was first identified on the shores of the KaÅŸ Peninsula in the Mediterranean. Approximately a year after this observation, the same species was reported for the second time from Konyaaltı Beach in Antalya Bay. This sea urchin rapidly multiplied and expanded its distribution along the coasts of the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas, reaching as far as the Marmara Sea. Some individuals of this sea urchin, which expanded distribution to coastal areas posing a risk to swimmers, were observed to start dying in the summer months of 2022. Scuba diving surveys were conducted in five different areas with rocky and stony seabed structures in the Gulf of Antalya during the winter season (Cliffs, Konyaaltı Beach, Sıçan Island surroundings, Çaltıcak region, and Kemer Ağva Cape), and it was determined that 99% of the D. setosum population had died in February and March. No living individuals were encountered during scuba diving surveys conducted in the same stations in April and May. In conclusion; mass mortalities have occurred in the D. setosum population in the rocky areas of the Gulf of Antalya, including the cliffs, Konyaaltı beach, Sıçan island surroundings, Caltıcak region, and Kemer Ağva Cape. This study presents the first report on matter.Keywords: Diadema setosum; Gulf of Antalya; Sea urchin.

Abstract

Sediments can act as pollutant sinks and a source of pollution in aquatic environments. The surface sediments of the Isaka-Bundu tidal swamp, Niger Delta was assessed for heavy metal content using standard methods and assessment indices. The study was carried out in three stations between January and June 2022. Five heavy metals (lead, copper, cadmium, nickel and zinc) were evaluated while eight assessment indices (Contamination Factor - CF, degree of contamination - DC, Ecological Risk - Er, Potential Ecological Risk - PERI, Pollution Load Index - PLI, Enrichment Factor - EF, Geo-accumulation Index - Igeo and Quantification of Contamination -QoC) were applied. Results showed that cadmium and copper exceeded permissible limits while lead, zinc and nickel were within limits. Stations 1 and 3 recorded significantly higher values indicating anthropogenic influence. The dominant anthropogenic activities observed in the area include maritime and dockyard activities and artisanal crude oil refinery. The assessment indices showed that the sediments were at various levels of heavy metal pollution mainly influenced by copper and cadmium viz: CF: Cu (considerable degree) and Cd (very high degree), DC (very high degree), Er: Cd (high ecological risk) and Cu (very high ecological risk), PERI (significant high ecological risk), PLI (very high level pollution), EF: Pb, Zn, Cu (Station 1) and all Cd (extremely high enrichment), Igeo:  Cd (extremely polluted) and QoC: Cu and Cd (anthropogenic source). The sediments were highly polluted with toxic metals, which is detrimental to humans and aquatic biota.Keywords: Heavy metal; Indices; Mangrove; Niger Delta; Sediment.

Abstract

This research was carried out in Pangandaran Regency, specifically in the Batukaras, Nusawiru, and Bojongsalawe areas, in March-April 2022. This research to determine the characteristics of Avicennia type mangroves, habitat characteristics, and the ability of Avicennia type mangrove roots to trap debris. The method used is the Line Transect (LT) method. The results obtained from research on the characteristics of this type of Avicennia mangrove include that the circumference of mangrove roots ranges from 2-24 cm, the height of mangrove roots ranges from 3-83 cm, and the number of mangrove roots ranges from 925-2988 roots. The wider the area, the more debris you will find. Based on the results of the calculation of the characteristics of the Avicennia-type mangrove habitat in Pangandaran, it is in a good range. The calculations include salinity in the range of 15-22 ppt, a temperature of 32-34 °C, a pH value of 7,6-8, and DO (dissolved oxygen) of 4-4,5 mg/L. The trapping of waste in the Avicennia root area is categorized as strong. So the denser the mangrove roots are, the density of debris will increase. This is proven by the large amount of debris found in Batukaras.Keywords: Avicennia mangrove; Characteristics, Category, Density, Marine debris; Type.

Abstract

Environmental conditions that are quite important in the growth of mangroves are the type of sediment, organic matter, and water quality because the organic matter produced can be useful for mangrove fertility. This study aims to determine the type of sediment, the percentage of total organic matter, water quality, mangrove density, and determine the relationship between sediment types, total organic matter, and water quality on mangrove density on Tunda Island, Serang, Banten. This study used a survey method while collecting data using a purposive sampling method. Mangrove density was obtained through the line transect plot method. The sediment type test used the dry sieving method, the total organic matter (BOT) test used the loss on ignition (LOI) method, the statistical test used the multiple correlation method. All data was then analyzed in a quantitative descriptive manner. The results of the study are that the type of sediment in Tunda Island mangroves is dominated by silty sand and sand. The total organic matter contained in mangrove sediments ranges from 2.40% - 3.62% which is included in the moderate to high category. Salinity values ranged from 31 - 34.33 ppt included in the high category. The pH value ranges from 7.33 - 7.70 which is included in the good category for mangrove growth. Temperature values ranging from 27.37oC - 31.63oC are included in the good category for mangrove growth because they can still grow and develop normally. The mangrove density level is dominated by the dense category, which is 2,400 ind/Ha at station 1 and 1,700 ind/Ha at station 2, and the rare category is 1,000 ind/Ha at station 3 and 900 ind/Ha at station 4. There is a significant relationship between sediment type, total organic matter, water quality with mangrove density.Keywords: BOT; Mangroves; Sediment; Water Quality

Abstract

Serukan fish (Osteochilus sp) has potential as a cultivation commodity with economic value. Environmental engineering, such as the manipulation of salinity media, has succeeded in increasing the growth of freshwater fish. However, there is no information about the optimal salinity setting for raising serukan fish. This study aims to determine the optimal media salinity based on the growth performance of the serukan juvenile. This study used a completely randomized design (RAL) with four treatments and three replications. The maintenance media in this study included control, P1 (3 ppt), P2 (6 ppt) and P3 (9 ppt). The study was conducted for 45 days with commercial feed. The test parameters included feed chemical analysis, blood glucose, SGR, FI, FE and SR. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Duncan's further test. The optimal concentration of media salinity is determined by an orthogonal polynomial test. The results showed that the salinity-rearing media had a significant effect on the specific growth rate (SGR) and the efficiency of feed usage. The optimal concentration of salinity was found at 3.8 ppt, indicating that the fish call tends to achieve optimal growth at this salinity. The physiological response (stress) of fish, as measured by blood glucose levels, is also directly proportional to the level of salinity and growth performance.Keywords: Blood glucose; Growth performance; Media manipulation; Osteochilus sp; Stress response.

Abstract

The Sambas River is part of the watershed of Sambas River which covers 71.03% of the total area of Sambas Regency. This river exhibits a mixed tidal regime with a tendency towards a double daily tide, which can cause sedimentation. Monitoring of this sedimentation can be conducted using remote sensing methods. The aim of this research is to analyze the concentration of suspended sediments based on direct measurements and appropriate algorithm processing. The data processing results from satellite images in 2022 using the Budhiman, Nurandani, and Lestari algorithms have a similar range of values to the direct measurements, ranging from 72 mg/L to 84 mg/L, although there are some data points that fall outside this range. However, the Budhiman algorithm demonstrates the best correlation with the direct measurements. The processed satellite data shows fluctuating values, indicating fluctuations in suspended sediment concentrations. Based on the conducted research, it is evident that the distribution pattern of suspended sediments in a river system can be analyzed using remote sensing techniques.Keywords: Remote Sensing; Suspended Sediment; Watershed
