Abstract

Consumption of both marine and freshwater fishes is considered as a healthy way to obtain diet, but the ingestion of contaminated fishes remains a concern. Our study is conducted to asses cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) contents in various fishes consumed by coastal communities in six districts of West Kalimantan (Indonesia) and their health risks to the communities. Specifically, the objectives of this study are to determine the average weekly intakes (AWIs) of cadmium and lead based on dietary intake of fishes, then estimate health risk associated with fish consumption using the risk quotients (RQs) method. We also use food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) filled by 696 respondents to assess fish consumption habit of the communities in West Kalimantan who consumed up to 30 fish species in 2012 and 2013. Our results show that their average weekly fish consumption is 135.7 ± 66.3 g/week, which contributes to AWI values of 0.38 ± 0.55 ?g/kg body weight (bw) per week for Cd and 0.87 ± 0.65 ?g/kg bw per week for Pb. The RQ values indicate a low risk of Pb coming from fish consumption, but the RQ value for Cd is high for the children age group. In conclusion, fish consumption in the six districts of coastal communities in West Kalimantan generally does not pose any health risk from Pb. Conversely, Cd intake from fish consumption has a potential risk for children. As such, regular monitoring and additional studies are needed on potential contribution of Cd intake from other food sources.

Abstract

The length compositions of Stolephorus heterolobus, Stolephorus insularis and Stolephorus  pseudoheterolobus  were observed. S. heterolobus ranged from 25 to 71 mm., S. insularis from 27 to 75 mm and S. pseudoheterolobus from 27 to 67 mm standard length. The  ages  of these  three  species  were estimated. The  asymptotic  length  of S. heterolobus was 97 mm attained at the age of 26 months, S. insularis 86 mm at 26 months and S. pseudohetorolobus 88 mm at 20 months. The highest growth rate of S. heterolobus was at the size group 30 - 80 mm standard length, that of S. insularis was at 30-50  mm, and that of S. insularis was observed to be the lowest. The stomach contents of S. heterolobus and S. pseudoheterolobus   were studied tand were found that the food  of these two  species  was  more or  less the  same. They fed mainly on zooplankton consisting of copepods and other crustaceans.

Abstract

Caulerpa racemosa, a benthic siphonaceous algae has its natural habitat in the sublittoral zone of tropical areas. In the Philippines, since a few years, it is cultivated on commercial scale in flooded ponds in the intertidal mangrove zone. Unlike in their natural habitats, Caulerpa in these ponds is subjected to sometimes considerable changes in salinity (rain, evaporation, tem-perature and light (Insolation), and in pH). The response of Caulerpa to these factors and the comparison of the ecological conditions, both in the natural habitats and the cultured ponds have been investigated. The experiments showed that the observed changes of the studied parameters normally range within the physiological limits of Caulerpa. Under extreme conditions, however, detri-mental effects can occur. Ways of controlling such factors are discussed.

Abstract

Expanding utilization of electricity by developing tropical nations will produce increasing amounts of waste heat that will, in most cases, be disposed into natural water systems. Such disposal represents a serious potential marine management problem for nations which intensively utilize the nearshore marine environment in their subsistence economy. This communication reviews the marine environmental effects resulting from thermal disposal at three generating stations on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii and compares these with results of similar studies made elsewhere in the tropics and subtropics. Conclusions are drawn from these studies concerning desirable environmental features to be considered for thermal outfalls in tropical areas, and some environmental consequences of alternative methods of cooling water treatment are discussed.

Abstract

A study on the presence and relative abundance of benthic harmful algal bloom (BHAB) forming dinoflagellate species was carried out in the coral reefs of Sampadi Island, Sarawak, Malaysia. The study involved deployment of fiberglass screens as an artificial substrate for the benthic epiphytic microalgae. The screens were placed for 24 h above the seafloor along a 100 m transect at 10 m intervals. BHAB species attached to the screens were identified and cell abundances were enumerated under a light microscope. The BHAB community at the study site was dominated by Prorocentrum spp. and Coolia spp. Other BHAB species collected included Amphidinium spp., Gambierdiscus spp. and Ostreopsis spp. Total cell densities collected on the screens ranged from 5 to 100 cells per 100 cm2. The two BHAB groups of primary concern, Gambierdiscus spp. and Ostreopsis spp. were detected at relatively low abundances of 0.6–4.2% and 1.8–16% respectively. This study has shown that potentially toxic BHAB species were present in the coral reef and the artificial substrate approach could provide a convenient quantitative method for the collection of clean samples for identification and enumeration purposes.

Abstract

Currents and mixing properties on the sill of Ambon Bay were measured with drogues. Current speed of 0.62 m/sec was observed. A mixing model suggests material released on the sill would decrease by a factor of 2 x 104 in one hour. Drogue construction and data reduction methods are described.

Abstract

A study on four common shark species in Indonesia, the spinner shark Carcharhinus brevipinna (Muller and Henle, 1839), silky shark Carcharhinus falciformis (Bibron, 1839), spot-tail shark Carcharhinus sorrah (Valenciennes, 1839) and scalloped hammerhead Sphyrna lewini (Griffith and Smith, 1834) was conducted at several shark landing sites in western Indonesia from March 2002 to December 2004. Data were collected from the surveyed areas including the length of frequency, sex composition and length at maturity. In general, they were caught at size smaller than their maturity size. The proportion of immature C. brevipinna, C. falciformis, C. sorrah and S. lewini to their total number recorded at the surveyed area during the study were about 87%, 50%, 80% and 65%, respectively. According to the length at maturity, females generally attained their maturity in larger size than males. Some factors contributing the catches in immature size and conservation status of those four species were also discussed.

Abstract

During the fall months of 1957, a scientific cruise was completed in some of the more northwestern fishery areas of Western Indonesia (Fig. 1) on the Indonesian research vessel "Samudera". One of the principal objectives of this cruise was to determine the rates at which inorganic carbon is converted to organic material relative to the waters of the Pacific further east. The physical nature of the waters and the hydrographic results of related cruises have been reported (e.g., SOERIAATMADJA, 1956a & b; SJARIF, 1959; WYRTKI, 1961) elsewhere.

Abstract

Recruitment pattern of juvenile fishes into Pami River estuary, West Papua, Indonesia (S 00.80970, E.134.06050), was studied from July to October 2005. The study purposes were 1) to observe fish diversity in family level, 2) to observe fish abundance of each family, 3) to observe recruitment pattern related to abundance and tidal rhythm. Samples were collected using line transect method and identification procedure were done based on morphological characteristics. A total of 19 Families were identified, namely Acanthuridae, Ambassidae, Anguillidae, Apogonidae, Carangidae, Chlopsidae, Clupeidae, Congeridae, Elopidae, Engraulidae, Gerreidae, Gobiidae, Mugillidae, Platycephalidae, Callyonimidae, Siganidae, Syngnathidae, Terapontidae, Tetraodontidae. Fishes composition varied each month.  Family of Gobiidae was the most dominant juvenile fishes recruiting during this study with 32%, 69.5%, 84.3%, 71.3%, respectively. Other 8 families (Ambassidae, Engraulidae, Elopidae, Chlopsidae , Siganidae, Syngnathidae,  Congeridae , and Callyonimidae) had the lowest composition varied from 0.4% to 3.2%. Three different patterns in abundance during the recruitment time of juvenile fishes, 1) early night (18.00-21.00) was represented by Ambassidae, Chlopsidae, Clupeidae, Gerreidae, Terapontidae, 2) mid-night (22.00-01.00) was represented by Callyonimidae, Congeridae, Engraulidae, Mugilidae, Platycephalidae, Tetraodontidae, and 3) late night (02.00-05.00) represented by Acanthuridae, Apogonidae, Carangidae, Elopidae, Gobiidae, Siganidae, Syngnathidae. However, the peak of abundance occurred at late night (>50 specimens caught), and recruitment pattern of all juvenile fishes has been associated with tidal rhythm.
