Abstract

A series of replicate samples of dead coral reef habitats was collected across Yonge Reef on the outer and inner reef (back reef) and on fringing reefs around Lizard Island. Five categories of habitats were selected, branching, thin plates, high percentage of live coral, solid reef, rock with either a small surface area or a large surface area, and easily broken up. The surface area, volume, percentage cover of epifauna and flora, and biomass of cryptofauna were determined for each habitat. An estimate of the percentage of cavity space (i.e. available living space for cryptofauna) occurring in each habitat was made. The cryptofauna is dominated by polychaetes, molluscs, and sipunculans. Habitats on inner Yonge have a larger biomass of cryptofauna than similar habitats found on outer Yonge or on fringing reefs around Lizard Island. Differences in physical attributes of the habitat together with exposure and surrounding species of coral and sponges may be responsible for these differences.

Abstract

We carried out hydrographic observations in the Bangpakong estuary during transient period from rainy season to dry season in 2011 and 2012. The main objective of the hydrographic observations was to elucidate the behavior of anoxic water mass in the Bangpakong estuary, which was the possible cause of mass mortality of cultured shellfishes in the study area. We had succeeded the CTD and mooring observations in both years, and we had obtained time–series data of DO, salinity, and current velocity for approximately 2 months, which were the first long-term continuous records in terms of water quality in the Bangpakong estuary. From mooring data, it was revealed that DO and salinity at the bottom layer in aquaculture area oscillated with large amplitude, and the period of the oscillation corresponded to tidal variation. Amplitude of the oscillation was large in September and became small in October, and anoxic condition lasted for several days in October in 2011 and 2012. Current direction at station M1 in 2011 was opposite to that of in 2012 throughout the mooring period southward in 2011 and northward in 2012. Wind conditions in Chonburi in both years were almost the same, but river discharge in 2011 was much higer than that of in 2012. Therefore, it was possible that the difference of current direction at station M1 occurred due to change of buoyancy flux, and persistent period of anoxic condition was different between 2 observed years associated with circulation change. It was suggested that mass mortality of cultured shellfishes in Bangpakong estuary was caused by anoxic water because timing of mass mortality corresponded to that of anoxic water appearance qualitatively. It was also suggested that the anoxic water mass in aquaculture area was transported from off shore area by residual currents.

Abstract

The diatom dominated phytoplankton net primary production in different areas of the ocean (from 100-1000 mg C. m-2. day-1) and in estuaries (up to 2000 mg C. m-2. day-1) is compared with the maximum productivity of marine diatoms in culture (50 g C . m-2 . day-1) for Cyclotella cryptica (Centrales, Diatomeae) and 1000 mg C . m-2. day-1 for Coscinodiscus asteromphalus (Centrales, Diatomeae). The rate of C-assimilation as a measure of primary production is critically discussed in relation to the different factors regulating the reproduction of cells and the production of organic material. The evaluation of another parameter for primary production: light dependent protein synthesis (LPS) is proposed, which brings reproduction of phytoplankton cells and the production of organic material closer together. As an example of the requirement for more information about the potential growth and production rate of diatom species, some results on the cultivation of the tropical shallow water diatom Bellerochea yucatanensis V. STOSCH (Centrales, Diatomeae) are presented. At 30 C this species has a specific growth rate (µ max) of = 4.4 divisions per day and 4 divisions per day at 34°C with an average cell size of 34 x 26 ? m. The temperature range of this species is from 12°C (µ = 0.3) to 35°C (µ = 2).

Abstract

In order to understand biodiversity, distribution, and abundance among the tropical anguillid eels in the Indonesian waters, inshore migration mechanism of the juvenile anguillid eel (glass eel) to the estuaries of western, central, and eastern region of Indonesian waters were examined using both morphology and genetic analyses. A total of 9 species/sub species of anguillid eels (Anguilla bicolor bicolor, A. nebulosa nebulosa, A. bicolor pacifica, A. interioris, A. borneensis, A. celebesensis, A. marinorata, A. obscura and A. megastoma) were recognized to recruit at the mouth of 15 rivers through Indonesian archipelago. Species/subspecies diversity and distribution of recruiting juveniles differs in the estuaries of each region. In the western region that represented by estuary of Krueng Aceh, Batang Antokan, Air Kertaun, Cibaliung, Citanduy, Progo, and Pacitan Rivers, three species and sub species (A. bicolor bicolor, A. nebulosa nebulosa and A. bicolor pacifica) were found. In the central region that represented by estuary of Mahakam, Palu, Dumoga, Poigar, Bone, and Poso Rivers, five species and sub species (A. borneensis, A. celebesensis, A. marinorata, A. bicolor pacilica and A. interioris) were found. In the eastern region that represented by estuary of Akelamo and Pami Rivers, four species (A. marinorata, A. interioris, A. obscura and A. megastoma) were found. During the 6 months investigation from May to October 2005, abundance of the juveniles was higher in the central region compared with western and eastern regions. These results were suggested that inshore migration mechanism of tropical anguillid eels recruiting in tropical estuaries of Indonesian waters differs among regions.

Abstract

Several harbours in North Jakarta have been polluted by spills of oil and their derivates. We suggest that diverse species of crude oil and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria  inhabit these harbours. An experiment was undertaken in 2007 to isolate crude oil and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacteria from oil-polluted harbours, such as Muara Baru, Sunda Kelapa and Tanjung Priok. Sea water and sediment samples were collected twice, in March and April. Crude oil and PAH-degrading bacteria were isolated from enrichment culture of samples in an enrichment medium (SWP), using ONR7a medium with the addition of 5 types of PAH gases or Arabian Light Crude Oil 210 (ALCO 210) onto medium. This study reported that fluoranthene and crude oil-degrading bacteria were the major bacteria isolated from the three polluted harbours. In total, 109 isolates have been collected which can degrade crude oil (29% of total isolates), fluoranthene (33%), fluorene (20%), pyrene (7%), dibenzothiopene (6%), and phenantrene (5 %). Among these isolates, 5 isolates have the capability to degrade 5 types of PAH and ALCO 210. They were Alcanivorax sp. B-1084, Pseudomonas sp. D5-38b, Alcanivorax sp. TE-9, Bacillus sp. L41, Alcanivorax dieselolei strain B-5 clone 1. Culturable bacteria have been isolated mostly from the Sunda Kelapa samples, with fewer in those from Muara Baru and Tanjung Priok, respectively

Abstract

We evaluated the effectiveness of vitamin C and Aeromonas salmonicida vaccine in grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) for increasing immune responses and protection against A .salmonicida. The vitamin C used was polyethoxylated ascorbic and tocopherol. The vaccine was prepared from formalin-killed cells and concentrated extracellular products of a single isolate A. salmonicida. Bath immersion vitamin C and vaccine trials were conducted for 60 min. Fish used had a mean weight 25 g. Control groupers were injected with tryptic soy broth. The results showed that vitamin C enhanced phagocytic activity in head kidney leucocytes of grouper 7, 14, 28 and 36 days after treatments. A significant different of the antibody titre was found between control fish and the treated fish at 42 days after treatments. In addition, at day 42, Relative Percent Survival (RPS) for control group was 53.3 %, vitamin C-treated group was 80.0 % and vaccinated group was 90.0 %. The results of this study suggest that bath immersion of vitamin C provided an increasing of phagocytic activity (non-specific immune responses), titre antibody (specific immune responses) and protection against A. salmonicida infection in grouper. A. salmonicida vaccine also en-hanced titre antibody and protection against A. salmonicida infection in grouper.

Abstract

COREMAP (Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program) is a long-term program initiated by the Government of Indonesia to enhance the welfare of the coastal communities by protecting, rehabilitating, and achieving sustainable use of the Indonesian coral reefs and their associated ecosystems. COREMAP is three phases planned program. The first phase was launched in 1998 and finished in 2004. Phase 2 began in 2006 and ended in 2011. The last phase has started since the end of 2014 and will finish in 2019. One of the performance indicators of COREMAP phase 2 (COREMAP 2) was a significant improvement of live coral cover in 80% of all sampling sites. The aims of this study are to find out and evaluate the trend of live coral cover during COREMAP 2. Annual monitoring of coral reefs was conducted in all sites of COREMAP 2 in the eastern Indonesia. Those sites were: Pangkep, Selayar, Buton, Wakatobi, Sikka, Biak Numfor and Raja Ampat. Permanent transects were applied at each site. Life-form of benthic data including hard corals was collected using the Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method and surveyed using SCUBA diving equipment. The result indicates that all sites, except Biak Numfor, demonstrate improvement in live coral cover during COREMAP 2. In contrast, live coral cover in Biak Numfor shows a decline due primarily to storm damage, destruction by bombs, some bleaching, and predation by Acanthaster planci. An increase in live coral covers in six out of seven sites during COREMAP 2indicates that the activities of COREMAP 2 (e.g. public awareness, community-based MCS, alternative livelihood) has a positive impact on the management of coral reefs in the Eastern of Indonesia.

Abstract

Seasonal variation in nitrogen cycling at the upper layer of the Pasig River estuary in Manila Bay was calculated during January 1996 to December 1998 by using the numerical ecosystem model. Chl.a and DIN concentrations are relatively low, river discharge is small, and solar radiation is strong from March to May in dry season. The main reason of low chl.a concentration is that the solar radiation is too strong. On the other hand, as DIN concentration is relatively high and solar radiation is optimum, chl.a concentration is relatively high from August to December in rainy season. Main source of DIN in rainy season is the vertical transport from the lower layer due to the strong estuarine circulation.

Abstract

Using the data in the file of the Lembaga Oseanologi Nasional (LON = National Institute of Oceanology), Jakarta, it is shown that the hydrological features at the surface of the Bali Strait are closely related to the meteorological factors of the region. Furthermore, based on the data obtained from the four oceanographical cruises organized by LON in the strait, the features at subsurface layer are analyzed. The influence of the current system south of Java and the upwelling associated with it are also discussed.
