Abstract

Kawasan Rumah Pangan Lesatri (KRPL) is one of the efforts that can be done to manage food security in the face of climate change. The management of the potential contained in KRPL is by applying Trigona sp honey bee cultivation which is integrated with agricultural land. The success of honey bee cultivation is highly dependent on the availability of feed in the environment. This study aims to determine the preferences of pollen collected by Trigona sp at KRPL. This type of research is a qualitative research with Chi square analysis. The research sample was bee pollen contained in 14 stup. The research was conducted from July-November. Data collection was carried out in October and November by making observations at KRPL with an area of 784 meters then making plant reference preparations that have the potential to be Trigona sp pollen feed in KRPL and comparing reference preparations with pollen preparations in Trigona sp stup. The results of the research at KRPL showed that there were 20 types of plant pollen in KRPL. The results of the descriptive analysis with chi square showed that there was a preference for the type of pollen that was fed to Trigona sp bees with a value of x2h > x2t so that H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted.

Abstract

This research is directed at developing renewable fuel sources, which are not only environmentally friendly, but also more importantly harvested faster and not competitive with agricultural land. For this reason, the potential oil-producing microalgae need to be explored, because it has fast growth and its cultivation development will not compete in land use with food agriculture. This study aims specifically to determine the types of microalgae producing biodiesel oil that can be isolated from the natural Wallacea in NTB waters, to determine light spectrum treatment and N elimination in microalgae culture which significantly increases the productivity and quality of the biodiesel it produces. Based on the distribution map of potential biofuel-producing microalgae types in NTB waters, samples will be collected from several NTB waters, then the target types of microalgae are isolated and cultured in two systems: a closed system (bioreactor) and an open system (raceway pool) with light spectrum variation treatment and elimination of N in microalgae culture nutrients to increase the productivity and quality of the biodiesel oil produced. Biomass was harvested every 48 hours from the bioreactor and every 4 weeks from the experimental pond. Microalgae biomass was extracted with hexane to produce primary oil. This primary oil usually still has a relatively high viscosity compared to petrodiesel, so it is then trans-esterified with methanol and an acid catalyst to increase the fire point and reduce its viscosity. Oil fractionation is also carried out to sort and determine the composition of saturated, mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids which greatly determine the biodeasel quality of these microalgae. The biodiesel quality variables to be measured are density, viscosity, flash point, freezing point, solubility in water, vapor pressure, reactivity, physical appearance, odor and toxicity. The result showed that, in the community of marine microalgae from Lombok and Sumbawa Islands consist of 62 species of potential producing-oil microalgae were dominated by Bacteriastrum delicatulum, B. variance, Chaetoceros amini, C. affinis, C. liciniosum, C. lorenzianum, Gyrosigma sp., Nannochloropsis oculata, Nitzchia spp., Oscillatoria sp., Pseudonitzschia spp., and Thalassionema nitzschicoides. Types of oil-producing freshwater microalgae in Lombok Island consist of 19 species of potential producing-oil microalgae, identified with high abundance and dominance, covering Microcystis aeruginosa, M. incerta, Nostoc sp., and Pediastrum boryanum. The oil content of the three species of microalgae, namely Chaetoceros amini, Nannochloropsis oculata, and Nitzchia spp which had been cultured by trietmant were 34, 68, and 46% dry weight, respectively.

Abstract

Serewe Bay is an important area for sustainable fisheries. This information on benthic habitats is important to know for sustainable management. However, at the moment there is no information on the distribution of benthic habitats in Serewe Bay. The research utilizes Sentinel 2A satellite imagery where the image used is obtained through the earthexplorer.usgs.gov website. Image data will be analyzed through several correction analysis processes, namely reflectance correction, sunglint, and water column or Lyzenga in order to obtain an image display that can be used to identify benthic habitats in Serewe Bay. In addition, a field data survey was also carried out to test the accuracy of the results of processing the Sentinel 2A satellite image of Serewe Bay. Image processing results show that there are 3 categories of benthic habitats, namely Seagrass, Sand and Mixed habitats in which there are macroalgae, dead coral, and coral fractures. The results of the field survey and accuracy calculations show that the accuracy of sentinel 2A image processing in Serewe Bay reaches 63.41% with the dominant benthic distribution consisting of seagrass, mixed benthic habitat and sand. Meanwhile, the calculation of the area of important benthic habitats such as seagrass beds in Serewe Bay can reach 156 Ha.
