Abstract

The presence of tidal bore in the Kampar River (locally known as ‘bono’) may influence sedimentation in the Kampar River and its estuary. Understanding sedimentation mechanisms (e.g., erosion, deposition) is important to communities along the Kampar River, which can be studied by analyzing characteristics of grain size distribution. Here, we study riverbed sediment samples collected from 17 stations using an Ekman grab sampler, accompanied by bathymetry and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements. Grain size data show that the sediments are coarser upstream and gradually finer downstream. Silty sands are predominant in the upstream section of the river, sands in its river body and sandy silts in the downstream. The results indicate the influence of undular bores on grain size characteristics. We also found that the propagation of bono and Kampar River’s funnelshaped morphology cause intense scouring events of riverbed sediments. Sortation values that range between 0.332.14 suggest unstable currents that result in randomly deposited sediments. The sediment mass transfer per area is positively towards downstream at the low tidal condition. However, after the passage of the bores, the sediment mass transfer area becomes negatively towards upstream.

Abstract

Deposition of suspended sediment was measured with sediment traps in shallow coastal waters colonized by Thallasia dominated seagrass in Pannikiang Island, South Sulawesi (Indonesia). The primary objective of this study was to compare the amounts of sediment deposition inside seagrass beds and in adjacent unvegetated area. The traps were placed in a seagrass bed (Station I, II, and III) and in an adjacent unvegetated area (Station IV) measuring the sediment flux on the seabed. The sediment fluxes due to deposition were significantly higher at stations I and II (P < 0.05) and station III (P < 0.01) than at station IV (unvegetated area). Results of this study suggest that sediment deposition was promoted by dense shoots of seagrass. The study provides quantitative evidence for the importance of seagrass bed as sites of sedimentation of fine particles.

Abstract

Studies of physiographic changes are in progress on mangrove-fringed shorelines in Westernport Bay in Victoria, and Cairns Bay in Queensland, Australia. Historical evidence of advance or retreat of these shorelines has been obtained from comparison of historical maps and air photographs with the present configuration, and supplemented by monitoring shoreline" changes with reference to established datum points during the past decade. In addition, changes in substrate level within the mangrove fringe, on mudflats to seaward, and on salt marshes (where present) to landward have been measured with reference to vertical changes on inserted poles, accretion over emplaced brick-dust layers, and changes in probe depths to underlying horizons (rock, sand, or peat) Results indicate that the advance of Avicennia marina on to mudflats is followed by relatively rapid and generally sustained vertical accretion related to interception of sediment within pneumatophore fields. Other mangroves or salt marsh species then replace Avicennia, and continued accretion leads to the development of a depositional marshland terrace, representing a re-shaping of the inter-tidal profile by the agency of vegetation. Mangroves that produce pneumatophore fields are considered to be more effective in trapping sediments than stilt rooted mangroves such as Rhizophora spp. or buttressed mangroves such as Bruguiera spp.

Abstract

The research was aimed to understand the composition and dominancy of aquatic microalgae, and to know the potential toxicity of Cyanobacteria occuring in three lakes of Jakarta-Bogor area. The study was done in 2006. The sampling sites were Lake Sunter 2 (North Jakarta), Lake Babakan (South Jakarta), and Lake Lido (Bogor). The water samples were taken using plankton-net (20 tan mesh) with horizontal tow. The results showed that. the number of microalgal genera in Sunter 2, Babakan, and Lido were different, i.e. 10 genera, 40 genera, and 14 genera, respectively. Cyanobacteria were dominant in Sunter 2 (96%) and Babakan (90.01%). The dominant Cyanobacteria in Sunter 2 was Planktothrix agardhii (53.48%), whereas in Babakan was Chroococcus dispersus (68.52%). The second abundant Cyanobacteria in Sunter 2 was Arthrospira (42.54%). Planktothrix agardhii and Arthrospira are known to produce harmful toxin.

Abstract

This study is a part of transplanting Enhalus acoroides carried out from November 2006 to February 2007 as a compensation of 1.6 ha loss of seagrass beds at Bojonegara, which was facilitated by NGO Rekonvasi Bhumi and funded by oil drilling company, PT Apexindo. The transplanting site was located at Terate, Banten Bay which has muddy substrate with high water dynamic. Healthy transplant seedlings were collected from monospecific vegetation with muddy substrate of donor site at Kepuh. The seedlings of Enhalus have different length of rhizome, 5 and 10 cm, with leaf length of 60 cm and removed roots. Transplanting of Enhalus acoroides was conducted using single shoot seedlings with 9 seedlings per unit in 1 meter square with 5 replicates. Light coefficient (1.17-5.06) and percentage of silt and clay (86.45 ± 2.18 %) at transplant site Terate were both higher than the donor site Kepuh with light coefficient values of 1.21-2.46 and percentage of silt and clay 64.00 ± 5.57 %, respectively. Seedling growth survival of Enhalus acoroides in February 2007 with rhizome length of 10 cm was higher (51.11 ± 25.58%) than seedlings with rhizome length of 5 cm (17.78 ± 18.59%). Leaf length and wide Enhalus acoroides transplants decreased during the study. Water dynamic (waves) influenced light coefficient and turbidity at the transplant site. Field observations showed that mortality of Enhalus acoroides transplants was caused by mud smoothering the leaves and barnacle growing on them. They made the leaves lost their buoyancy, laid on the surface, rotten and finally died. Wave is one of the important physical factor affecting the transplanting seagrass on the muddy substrate.

Abstract

An experiment on isolate Symbiodinium sp. from Hippopus hippopus was carried out to determine growth medium and optimum salinity for in vitro culture of the symbiont. The split-plot factorial design with two factors was applied with 3 replications. The first factor was medium with 2 levels, namely f/2 and modified GPM. The second factor was salinity with five levels i.e. 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 PSU. All treatments were incubated under continuous light (2600 lux) and 25°C. The maximum growth was reached at day 16 and there was significant interaction (p<0.05) between medium and salinity. The maximum density (64.8 x 104cell/ml) was found in media f/2 and salinity 35 PSU.

Abstract

The study on chemical properties in the conservation areas of Gilimanuk Bay, west coast of Bali was carried out in March 2006. The dissolved oxygen and degree of acidity (pH) in surface water were analyzed. The nutrients, consisting of phosphate, nitrate and ammonia concentrations in water were analyzed as well. In general all the chemical parameters were normal for coastal waters. Dissolved oxygen in this area was lower than those in Jakarta Bay and Panimbang waters, while the nutrient concentrations were lower compared to those of Cisadane Estuary, but higher compared to those of Mamberamo Waters. The fluctuations of pH, dissolved oxygen and other nutrients were influenced by the condition of surrounding area.

Abstract

Tidal range in the Arafura and Teimor Sea region is estimated from the actual field records collected by five tidal stations during March 2011. These stations include Rote and Saumlaki tidal stations of Badan Koordinasi Survei dan Pemetaan Nasional (Bakosurtanal) Indonesia, and Broome, Darwin and Groote Eylandt tidal stations of Australia Bureau of Meteorology (BoM). In addition to data from these stations, datasets of sea surface height obtained from Topex/Poseidon altimetry at seven (7) virtual stations were used. Generally, the results of this study are in agreement with that of Wyrtki (1961). However, by utilizing spectral analysis and form factor, this study shows difference in terms of tidal types from that of Wyrtkis, particularly at Karumba and Groote Eylandt stations.

Abstract

The Wallacea with the total land area of 347,000 km designates a biogeographical group of Eastern Indonesian islands separated by deep water straits from the Asian and Australian continental shelves, and occupies a region with the worlds most complex geological evolution and the accompanying extreme endemism. It also encloses remnants of emerged and submerged lands as well as dispersed and accreted island arcs and fragments of the continents resulting from a relatively continuous Cenozoic convergence of the Indo-Australian, Eurasia and Pacific-Philippine Sea plates. This paper discusses the Cenozoic spatial and temporal evolution of terranes in the region and explores how the Earth System Processes have eventually shaped up the Indonesian Throughflow and highlights the biogeographically unique and rich Wallacea. It will be demonstrated that the Wallaces line may have inherited an evolved multi-origin Early Cenozoic deep water barrier and the present Wallacea has been the resultant of significant Neogene convergent tectonics and significant modification by glacially-related sea level and climatic changes during the Quaternary. The gradual and systematic changes of the respective ocean regimes, the corresponding oceanometeorologic evolution, the emergence and disappearance of islands and land bridges, the dispersal and docking of some terranes have all resulted in the present configuration of the areas of endemism within the Wallacea. These changes correspond with the Neogene closure of the Indonesian Seaways, a narrow passage formed by the collision of the three major plates and the vanished pre-Cenozoic Tethyan ocean formed by the otherwise connected Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Abstract

A small collection of majoid spider crabs of the genus Paratymolus Miers, 1879, s.l from Lombok Island, Indonesia contains four species namely P. hastatus Alcock (1895), P. coccus Loh & Ng (1999), P. cygnus Loh & Ng (1999), and Litosus sexspinosus (Miers, 1884). Except for L. spinosus, the three other species are new records for Indonesia. Paratymolus coccus is previously known from only female specimens, and the presence of male specimens in the collection studied provides the opportunity to complete the description of male characters. Paratymolus hastatus is reported for the first time outside Indian Ocean and P. cygnus is recorded for the first time after its description.
