Abstract

An attempt has been made to relate the surface areas of tidal forest (mangrove) and the commercial shrimp production in those areas and adjacent waters in Indonesia. A significant linear relationship (a = 0.01) was obtained between these two variables as expressed in an equation : Y = 5.473 + 0.1128 X, where Y k the shrimp production in 103 tons and X is the mangrove surface area in 104 Ha. This relationship indicates that the shrimp production increases with the size of the tidal forest area implying that any reduction of the tidal forests, e.g. for industrial and agricultural purposes will cause a decrease in shrimp yield.

Abstract

Observations on oceanographic parameters using remote sensing techniques intensively have been done for more than 3 decades for estimating and mapping the sea surface temperature (SST) and the abundance of phytoplankton expressed as the concentration of chlorophyll-a and applied them in studying the ocean phenomenon. As a result, the product of these 2 parameters for all over the oceans in the world has been established and available in daily basis. However, on the contrary, there is still limited application for sea surface salinity (SSS) which is also one of the most important oceanographic features. This paper describes a novel method of deriving SSS from remotely sensed ocean color. The method is based on two important observations of optical properties in regions of freshwater influences. The first is the strong effect of Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM or yellow substance) on ocean color when present in relatively high concentrations. The second is the close relationship between salinity and CDOM originating from fresh water runoff. In this paper, these relationships are demonstrated for the Jakarta Bay, Indonesia. The MODIS sensor in Terra and Aqua satellites imageries and 10 in situ measurements conducted near-simultaneously with the satellites over flight over the bay in 2004 and 2006 were implemented for deriving CDOM and SSS. The empirical relationships demonstrated in this study allow the satisfactory prediction of CDOM and SSS in the Jakarta Bay from remotely sensed ocean color. The root mean square (r.m.s) error difference between the observed and predicted parameters are 0.14 m-1 and 0.93 psu for CDOM g440 g and SSS, respectively, over a range of salinity from 24 to 33 psu. This range is in good agreement with field surveys. Parameters that may influence CDOM, such as Chlorophyll-a (CHL-a) and total suspended material (TSM) concentrations were also analyzed. Results showed that there were no relationship at all between CDOM and CHL-a, and between CDOM and TSM. These indicate that phytoplankton plays a minor role in regulating CDOM abundance, and also suggest that CDOM contribution from sediment and/or from sediment resuspension is negligible. Thus, CDOM sources in the Jakarta Bay are mainly from riverine inputs. SSS maps created from the satellite-retrieved ocean color identify features in the surface salinity distribution such as salinity front of > 32 psu that migrated in and out of the bay according to seasons. Therefore, the ability to obtain synoptic views of SSS such as presented in this paper provides great potential in furthering the understanding of coastal environments.

Abstract

From April 1982 to October 1982, 393 specimens of oyster were collected near mangrove roots from Piru, Waisala, Wailale, Pelita Jaya (Seram Island) Ihamahu (Saparua Island), and Manipa Island for sondition factor analysis. The regression of meat yield (Y) on whole meat weight (X1) and condition factor (X2) could be expressed by the following equation: Y = 0.062 X1 + 0.127 X2 — 10.975. The analysis of correlation indicated that the meat yield of oyster depends on the condition factor. Hydrologieal parameters which affected the condition factor are described.

Abstract

A research on zoobenthos biodiversity was carried out from September 2004 to September 2006 at the Ca river (the length of Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces) showed a species composition consisted of 154 species, 115 genera, 72 families, 32 orders and 5 phyla, including Mollusca, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata and Sipuncula. The results showed that a decreasing trend in the number of zoobenthos species from the fresh water area to the estuary of the Ca River. The largest number of species was shown in route 1 (Cua Hoi) with 89 species (nearly 44.7%). The lowest value of species number was seen at route 5 with 31 species (15.5%). The Crustacea group was the most predominant group, including 47 species. The H and d indexes indicated a decreasing biodiversity level from route 5 (Hung Lam, H = 0.9 and d = 0.75) to route 1 (Cua Hoi, H = 2.32 and d = 1.96). The average number of zoobenthos density was 149 individuals per m2. The average value in dry season was higher than that in rainy season (151 individuals per m2 compared to 146 individuals per m2, respectively). In the dry season, the biological indexes changed mainly according to salinity and turbidity factors. Meanwhile, in rainy season, the variation of zoobenthos species related essentially to other factors, DO and salinity.

Abstract

Marine sponge Aaptos-aaptos is thought to produce antimicrobial aaptamine and its derivatives. To investigate whether its associated bacteria are in fact the producer of such bioactive compounds, a study of antibacterial compounds derived from Aaptos-associated bacteria was conducted. In this research, approximately 10 bacterial colonies were isolated from the sponge Aaptos aaptos. Among the bacteria isolated, the one that showed the most potential for producing antibacterial compounds was Rhodobacteracea bacterium. Extra and intracellular bacterial extract from this strain strongly inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio eltor, while were moderately effective against Bacillus subtilis. Optimization of antibacterial activity was conducted by culturing Rhodobacteraceae bacterium in various carbon sources such as glucose, lactose, amylum, molasses and glycerol. The highest production of biomass was obtained by culturing this bacteria in SYP (Seawater Yeast  Peptone) medium, enriched with 1% glycerol as the carbon source and with a harvesting time of around 56-104 hours. The highest activity (8 U/ml) was reached when culturing this strain in SYP medium without any adding of carbon sources. Data analysis using a statistical tool indicated that carbon sources added to medium do not have a significant effect on antibacterial activity. Characterizing the compound responsible for the antibacterial properties will be the topic of further work.Keywords : carbon source, Rhodobacteracea bacterium, Aaptos aaptos, associated bacteria

Abstract

Coastal development, growing urbanization and industrialization are the most important stressors of coral reefs worldwide. Jakarta is one of the largest megacities worldwide. The coral reefs of the Thousand Islands north of Jakarta have degraded dramatically over the last 30-40 years. While large-scale gradients (i.e., regional drivers) have been extensively studied and shown shifts and declines in coral cover and composition, local drivers and their impact on spatial community composition have been neglected. The aim of our study is to investigate the spatial impact of anthropogenic stressors on local and regional scales on coral reefs north of Jakarta. Our results demonstrate that reefs in the north of the Thousand Islands are separated from the reefs in Jakarta Bay (JB), where a direct impact of Jakarta can be seen. Local anthropogenic effects rather than regional gradients have shaped a spatial patchwork of differentially degraded reefs along the nearshore islands. The main anthropogenic stressor is pollution and sedimentation rate, NO2, PO4 and chlorophyll-a explain over 80% of the variation. Surfactants and diesel-borne compounds from sewage and bilge water discharges are common pollutants. Responses to combinations of selected pollutant with elevated temperature (+3°C) were determined in the metabolic performance of the coral reef fish Siganus guttatus. During combined exposure, metabolic depression was observed. Effects of pollutants were not amplified by elevated temperature. In a study about two dominant soft coral genera, Sarcophyton spp. and Nephthea spp., on dissolved inorganic nutrients (DIN), turbidity (NTU), and sedimentation combined with measurements of photosynthetic yield and respiratory electron system (ETS) activity water quality seems to control the relative abundance and physiology of dominant soft corals in JB. In order to reverse or prevent phase shifts from hard to soft corals, there is a need to manage the water quality better. It is concluded that the intense anthropogenic pressure from local as well as regional sources is responsible for the spatial structure and health of reefs. Therefore, improved spatial management with a focus on both local and regional stressors is needed for effective marine conservation.

Abstract

A study on macroalgae diversity and life form was carried out at inter-tidal rocky shores of Similajau National Park, Bintulu, Sarawak. Thirty five species were identified in this study, of which 15 belong to the division Rhodophyta, 12 to the Chlorophyta and 8 to Phaeophyta. Fifteen species are new records to the Park. Irrespective of areas, macroalgae from the three divisions; Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta did not show any distinct zonation. There was high number of macroalgae species in rocky area related to the sandy area. The high representation of macroalgae from rocky area reflects the availability of stable substrate and microhabitats for the occurrence and diversity of macroalgae species. The sandy area lacks hard structure responsible for the relatively low diversity of macroalgae. Four types of macroalgae life forms were identified namely epilithic, epipelic, epizoic and epiphytic. The general distribution, occurrence and a list of the macroalgae is presented.

Abstract

Gorgonians of the genus Pseudoplexaura, from a variety of geographical locations, yield crassin acetate as the major cembranolide. The cembranolides found in Eunicea collected at different locations vary. Eunicin is found in Eunicea mammosa from Bimini, and from a number of other locations. Its position isomer Jeunicin, has been found in the Eunicea from Jamaica. Eunicea from Curacao yields an epimer ot eunicin, Cueunicin, while that from Puerto Rico yields Eupalmerin acetate, and Peunicin occurs in Eunicea collected off Panama. The cembranolides are toxic to various aquatic organisms. They inhibit ciliary action in the ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis, and in the larvae of the nudibranch Phestilla sibogae.

Abstract

The oyster culture operation in Moro Bay is typical of the United States Pacific Coast Crassostrea gigas mariculture industry. Of this Bays 1,000 hectares of marshes, tidelands and channels 400 hectares have been alloted by the State of California for private oyster cultivation. Approximately 180 hectares of this allotment are suitable for bottom and stake culture on a three-year growing cycle. Each year this 60 hectares is planted with cultch shell at the rate of 60 cases of cultch per hectare. Each case contains an average of 1,000 cultch shells with 10 oyster spat per shell. A typical survival rate of 30% yields, 3,000 liters of oyster meat per hectare after 36 months of growth.
